🏛 Intercession-Vasilyevsky Monastery (Pokrovsko-Vasilyevsky Monastery)

Павловский Посад, ул. Максима Горького, 25

A monastery linked to the name of the local ascetic Vasily Gryaznov: the late 19th-century Intercession Cathedral and a quiet green courtyard.

The two-storey church above the graves of Vasily Gryaznov and his wife was built by the factory owner Yakov Labzin and consecrated in 1874.
In 1885 Labzin set up a women's almshouse at the church, which was turned into a community in 1894, where up to 150 sisters lived in the early 20th century.
Services were held until 1932, after which warehouses and garages were set up in the church.
The church reopened in 1989 and was converted into a men's monastery on 23 June 1995.
On 7 August 1999 Vasily Gryaznov was glorified as a locally venerated saint; his relics lie in the upper Intercession Church.
In 2002 more than 100 particles of relics of the saints of the Kyiv Caves were brought to the monastery.
