Andreevsky Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Gagarinsky District, Moscow, Russia
The Andreevsky Monastery features multiple church buildings with Baroque architectural elements, including a bell tower decorated with capitals, cornices, and stucco work.
Founded in 1648 by Fyodor Rtishchev, the monastery complex underwent numerous transformations, serving as a prison, orphanage, asylum, and metrology laboratory throughout its existence.
The monastery established Moscow's first educational school for civilians in the mid-17th century, continuing this tradition through its current religious education programs.
