Episcopal Palace, Religious landmark in Suzdal Kremlin, Russia
The Episcopal Palace features carved wide windows facing the cathedral courtyard and contains a spacious Cruciform Chamber measuring 338 square meters with high vaults.
The palace complex originated in the late 15th century and expanded during the 16th century to include a house church for accommodating visits by Ivan IV.
The Cruciform Chamber functioned as the main reception room where bishops read decrees, considered petitions, and received guests with honey and church wine.
The Episcopal Palace now operates as part of the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum-Reserve, displaying exhibitions about the history of Suzdal and Old Russian painting.
The palace includes a bell tower with a clock that chimes every minute and houses an exhibition of the Jordanian canopy from the 17th century.
