Description
  • View in tinted lantern slide, ca. 1931.
  • In 1856-61, the Holy Resurrection Cathedral with five domes and five side-altars was erected in the centre of Novodevichy Convent (internal painting was done by artists A. A. Kolchin and R. F. Vinogradov, and icons were painted by nuns supervised by artist G. I. Yakovlev). The bell tower of St. Isidor Church was erected in 1892-95 (architects L. N. Benois, V. P. Tseidler, now destroyed), which gave a less traditional look to the ensemble.
