🏛 Brusensky Monastery

Коломна, Брусенский пер., 36

A small convent founded in 1552 in honor of the capture of Kazan.

The name most likely comes from "brusenny": the first cells and possibly the church were built of squared timber (brus).
According to tradition, the first residents were participants in the Kazan campaign.
Until the 1620s the monastery was for men, and after the Time of Troubles it became a convent.
In Soviet times the tented Assumption Church was turned into a vegetable warehouse.
In 1932 the tented five-domed top of the Holy Cross Cathedral was demolished; it was recreated in 2005–2007.
In 1991 the museum "Tented Architecture of the Moscow Region" opened in the Assumption Church; the convent was revived in 1997.
