      🏛 Feodorovsky Monastery

      Пролетарская площадь, 34Б, Городец

      A monastery on the Volga bank linked with Alexander Nevsky and the Feodorovskaya icon; the main church was rebuilt in 2009.

      • The monastery was closed and destroyed in 1927; the cathedral was rebuilt in its original form in 2009.
