Historical Description | New Jerusalem Monastery, also called Resurrection Monastery st a Russian Orthodox men's monastery in the Russian city of Istra. The monastery was founded in 1656 by Patriarch Nikon as a patriarchal residence outside Moscow and named after New Jerusalem. Among the architects who participated in the expansion of the monastery at various times were Yakov Bukhvostov, Matveh Kazakov, Bartolomeo Francesco Rastrelli and others. In the 17th century the New Jerusalem Monastery got a large library, where Nikon compiled manuscripts from other monasteries. A year after the October Revolution in 1917 the monastery was closed. In 1920, a history and art museum was opened here. In 1935, the Moscow Oblast Regional Museum was also added. |
