Thank you, amigo ! This is a part of a massive monastery complex of so-called New Jerusalem ( with all monks, religious activities and so on ) located about 60 miles west of Moscow. The building itself is surrounded by fortress with rampants and number of other religious sites. The complex was completely destroyed and burned down by Nazis during the WWII and then gradually restored. The gorgeous belltower was restored to its former glory only in 2016 and now this place is one of the most visited historic sites nearby Moscow. I took number of shotz inside whereas it is jaw-dropping wonderful and maybe some day will make a separate gallery. Russia is packed with all these hidden and not well known treasures, and it would take a lifetime journey to visit them all
