🏛 Bell tower of Kazan Golovino Monastery

Кронштадтский б-р, 29, стр. 3

All that is left of a convent in the Russian style: a tall brick bell tower among 1970s buildings on Kronshtadtsky Boulevard.

The convent's history began in 1876 with an almshouse that the merchant Nikita Sidorov set up in the village of Golovino.
The main shrine was the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, hence the monastery's name.
After the revolution they tried to preserve the monastery as a cooperative, but in the 1920s it was closed and a sanatorium was set up here.
In the 1970s all the buildings except the bell tower were demolished for high-rises, and the cemetery was destroyed.
The bell tower is now assigned to the Church of the Sign in Aksinyino.
