Dormition Goritsky Monastery

Goritskiy Monastery
russia, Pereslavl-Zalessky
The Assumption Goritsky Monastery is an abolished male Orthodox monastery, tentatively founded at the beginning of the 14th century. The monastery is located on the southern shore of Pleshcheevo Lake on a hill. In 1744 the monastery was closed and turned into the home of the Bishop of Pereslavl, and in 1919 the monastery complex became a museum-reserve. The main building of the monastery complex is the Assumption Cathedral, built in 1750 and lavishly decorated with stucco and baroque paintings.

This is a monastery of the 14th century, completely destroyed by the Tatar-Mongols in 1382 and rebuilt again. Acted as a monastery until 1744, and then became the residence of the archbishop. Now on the territory of the monastery there is a natural-historical museum-reserve, which works only in the summer. Since Pereslavl-Zalessky is included in the Golden Ring routes, the Goritsky Monastery is quite visited, but not too crowded, it is very pleasant to wander around it in August, when it smells of apples and fragrant chamomile from everywhere.
