Novo-Solovetskaya Marchugovskaya hermitage
This is a male monastery on the banks of the Moscow River, built in 1657. However, its construction was greatly delayed and it was consecrated in the name of the Annunciation only in 1698.
The style of the building combines the severity of the monastery and the small Baroque features of Naryshkin’s time. At first, the monastery was surrounded on three sides by open bypass galleries, one of which was subsequently destroyed, and coverings were erected over the other two, hiding their decor from view.
In addition, the Holy Gates were also built, representing a single-domed cathedral of the Solovetsky Wonderworkers. In 1870, a bell tower was erected in the style of pre-Petrine architecture. During the Soviet Union, the building was given over to the storage facilities of the state farm. And in 1993 it was given the status of a metochion of the Solovetsky Monastery.
