What a wonderful place to visit. The grounds and the monastery buildings are lovely (although they do need a bit of care and attention). The museum is fascinating - lots of icons (some from the 15th century).

Founded in 1397 solely by St. Cyril, by that time just a monk who decided to start a little monastery by himself. Starting with some single huts from wood, he built himself, he invited some other monks to join him. However, it started to grow and grow, and many years later it became the largest Monastery of Northern Russia, at the height of its power it owned 400 villages and 20.000 people. Now it's a museum, and needs maintenance badly.
