The Holy Spirit Monastery is a cult complex consisting of the Spaso-Preobrazhensky five-domed Cathedral, erected in 1617 on the site of a wooden church and the Gate Church of the Exaltation of the Cross, a bell tower, erected in 1697-1707. The monastery is surrounded by a brick wall. At the end of the 17th century, in one of the cells of the women's monastery, after the Streltsy revolt, the disgraced Moscow princess Sophia was kept in custody for some time. In 1768, after the “antimonastic” decree of Empress Catherine II, the nuns were transferred to the Sevsky Monastery. In 2006 the temple was renovated. The interiors of the cathedral have preserved a unique iconostasis, a baroque chandelier made in 1692 in Nuremberg, and paintings.
