Trinity Belopesotsky Monastery

Location: Stupino, st. Bezverkhova, 158.

Stupino, whose attractions are very diverse, is characterized by the presence of a large number of Orthodox shrines.

The Trinity Monastery was founded in 1498 by the boyar Vladimir Belopesotsky, who took monastic vows. In those days, the border ran along the Oka, and the monastery, in addition to its direct function, served as a defensive outpost that protected from attacks by the Tatars. For this reason, it developed and expanded at a rapid pace.

Towards the end of the 17th century. the need for this function disappeared and the measured life of the men's monastery took place here. In the 18th century By decree of Catherine II, his estates were secularized. However, until 1918 it was active.

In 1901, another improvement was made - at this time the iconostasis was completely rebuilt.

During Soviet times, the church was preserved, and it was practically undamaged, remaining closed. However, the priests who served here were shot.

In 1929, a new era began in its history - it began to operate again, thanks to the efforts of Anastasia Ivanovna Kazennova.

And currently services are held here regularly.

One of the rare shrines kept in the church is the miraculous icon of the Mother of God “Quench My Sorrows,” which came here as a result of the closure of the Belopesotsky Monastery.

However, one Church of the Resurrection of Christ has survived, which is included in the list of monuments of federal significance.

The time of construction of the structure is not known, however, it is already mentioned in scribe books in 1758.

A very large reconstruction of the church was carried out in the 19th century, including the replacement of the old belfry with a beautiful bell tower in 1896 (architect I.D. Bogolepov).

During the Soviet era, the church was abandoned, but stood in good condition. After opening in the 90s, renovations were carried out and two extensions were added - an apse and a boiler room.

Avdotyino Estate

Location: Stupinsky district, Avdotino.

The estate is famous and attracts tourists thanks to a network of dungeons that were discovered not so long ago. It turned out that they connected most of the buildings of the estate, and also led to the neighboring estates Nikonovskoye and Troitskoye-Lobanovo. They are located at a depth of 6.5 - 8 m. Why they were built and how these passages were used is still not clear.

The dungeons date back to the late 18th – early 19th centuries. At this time, the owner of the estate was N.I. Novikov, a famous educator of that time. He became one of the first publishers of a satirical newspaper that ridiculed the way of life of that time. Catherine II banned N.I. Novikov was asked to engage in printing activities, and he moved to Avdotino.

Here he was actively involved in the construction of a bell tower on the estate. In addition, on his estate, he launched a project of “communication houses” - residential buildings that were intended for peasants and aimed at uniting them. The houses stood along the road and formed a single chain. All of them had their own entrance and were intended to accommodate 4 families. Some of them have survived to this day.

The Empress was informed about such an unusual and strange idea, and in 1792 a search was conducted in the estate to find a secret printing house. Nothing was found, but the owner of the estate was still sent to prison. N.I. released Novikov was established only after the death of Catherine II, by decree of Paul I in 1795.

Having returned, he again actively began to carry out construction, began redeveloping the park, and laid out a garden. They say that this activity was intended to hide the work on the construction of underground passages.

N.I. Novikov died in 1818. His estate was sold to P.A. Lopukhin, who demolished the main house. The beautiful Tikhvin Church with a bell tower and the remains of an outbuilding, which until recently was still residential, have survived to this day, but the fire that happened practically destroyed it. Novikov was buried at the altar of the Tikhvin Church, where a memorial plaque was installed.
