Museum of Dionisy’s Frescoes - Ferapontov Monastery

The Museum of Dionisy’s Frescoes is situated in the architectural ensemble of the Ferapontov monastery (St. Ferapont’s monastery) of the 15th-19th centuries in the village Ferapontovo.The Ferapontov monastery was founded in 1398 by the Holy monk Ferapont. During 400 years it was one of the prominent cultural, religious and educational centres of the Belozersk district. The history of the monastery coincided at some focal points with the important historical events of the formation of the Russian centralized state. The monastery became well-known thanks to the activity of St. Martinian, the disciple of St. Kirill Belozersky.

A must-see whether you travel from Moscow, St Peterburg, Vologda, on a river cruise ship or any other way (except for the plane, of course). Russia has very few monasteries so nicely preserved. By strangle trick of Fortune communists have not only let the complex be but even opened a museum there in 1924. Step inside and you'll understand why these frescoes are on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Never restored - just cleaned! A gem. Mind beautiful surroundings. Don't miss an opportunity to buy local souvenirs and crafts. One of the few places on Earth where you won't face Chinese-made junk. And they are cheap!

Easy to find in the middle of town with a tower (costs but not much... and mid your head on the way up) with a nice river beside it and nice grounds and old architecture.
