Maly Ivanovsky monastery, Religious monastery in Kirillov, Russia
The Maly Ivanovsky Monastery stands on the banks of Lake Siverskoye, featuring eleven churches within its fortified walls constructed between 1654 and 1680.
Founded in 1397 by Saint Cyril of White Lake, the monastery became the second wealthiest religious institution in Russia by the 16th century.
The monastery established a Byzantine-style secondary school that advanced bibliographical studies and text-critical research during the medieval period.
Located 600 kilometers north of Moscow, the monastery complex spans 12 hectares and includes the Great Dormition Monastery with its 15th-century cathedral.
The monastery withstood a siege by Polish-Lithuanian forces in December 1612 and later served as a confinement location for Patriarch Nikon and Tsar Simeon Bekbulatovich.
