Крестовоздвиженский монастырь, Orthodox monastery on Vozdvizhenka Street, Moscow, Russia
The monastery complex featured a large cathedral with distinctive flower-shaped architecture, positioned between residential buildings and religious structures in central Moscow.
The first written record of the monastery dates back to 1547, during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, when it was mentioned in chronicles about a devastating fire.
In 1540, the monastery received precious religious icons from Rzhev, welcomed by Ivan the Terrible and Metropolitan Joasaph during a ceremonial procession.
The monastery existed until 1814, when it ceased operations following extensive damage during Napoleon's invasion of Moscow in 1812.
The cathedral remained the sole centrally positioned religious building in Moscow with a petal-shaped architectural plan until its demolition in 1934.
