* A unique monastery located in the very center of the Arkhangelsk region, 160 km away. south of Arkhangelsk. The monastery recently turned 500 years old, and we will see a huge amount of restoration work that has been carried out over the past decades. We will be able to get acquainted with the history of the monastery, nature, the most beautiful places where it is located, visit the monastery museum, cells where monks in ancient times were engaged in copying books, climb the most unique bell tower. Once upon a time, this monastery was the spiritual and cultural center of the Podvinsk region, and there were famous exiles in it. Perhaps the most famous of them was Patriarch Filaret, Fyodor Nikitich Romanov in the world. During the trip, we will visit the third largest single-column stone chamber in Russia, which is second in size only to the Faceted Chamber of the Moscow Kremlin and the Dormition Refectory of the Solovetsky Monastery. We will visit restored churches, one of which is unique - there is a bell tower directly above it. If you are one of those who wants to "kill two birds with one stone", then we recommend combining a trip to the Antonievo-Siysky monastery with an excursion to Kholmogory.
