The oldest Nizhny Novgorod Cathedral is located here – Mikhailo-Archangelsky (an architectural monument of the XVII century), it is in it that the ashes of the great Nizhny Novgorod resident Kozma Minin are buried.

The monastery was founded in 1328.
The rich history makes this object one of the main attractions of the city and the country, this object is protected at the federal level.
