Pechersky Ascension Monastery

Reviewed By alexey2612 - Moscow, Russia

The monastery is situated in a low bank of the Volga river. I came here by public transportation. It can be seen from the cable-car. The monastery was founded in 14 th century by monks from Kiev Pechora monastery. They settled several miles away from the Nizhni Novgorod Kremlin. Now it is almost in the city center. In 2013 the monument to Alexander II was unveiled who visited the monastery in 1858. I enjoyed the atmosphere of this place.

One of the most important Russian little charming cities , the capital of Golden ring, I recommend to stay in this city at least for 2 days , as it’s so nice to study about Russian history ( city is more 1000 years old!!!! ) and you can see this city on the Russian note ( guess which one ) Really impressed

Cathedral of St. Alexander Nevskiy

The cathedral was built in honor of Alexander II, who visited Nizhny Novgorod during the International industrial artistic exhibition that was held in Nizhny Novgorod in 1896.

I'm not a fan of the exterior color, but the inside of this church is beautiful. Wood iconostases. Beautiful painting all over the interior.

This is one of the best places to observe sunsets in the city. The amazing view on the two rivers and the “Strelka”, when Oka becames to Volga. Also you could see all down districts of the city with football stadium, Alexander Nevsky cathedral and “Yarmarka” (old fair’s building).
