A day trip from Moscow to Zagorsk Monastery, featuring the Cathedral of the Assumption within the walls of the Trinity-Sergius Monastery, Sergiyev Posad.
Founded in 1345 by St. Sergius of Radonezh and containing his relics, Holy Trinity is located in the city of Sergiyev Posad (formerly known by the Soviet name Zagorsk) about 72 kms. northeast of Moscow. Horrendous traffice makes the return trip to Moscow rather long.

  • Thanks for your remarks. I'm sure 50 years has made a lot of difference to the Monastery, as it has to Russia itself. The Monastery has become very 'touristy', but is still on the 'don't miss' list if you get the chance to visit.

  • We visited Zagorsk in 1962 whilst I was working in the British Embassy in Moscow. Your excellent video shows just how much work has been done to restore the monestary to its former glory since those days when it was in a very poor state. We could not go inside the buildings then and the evidence of extreme poverty was everywhere. - thank you.
