The monument to the Holy Blessed Prince Peter and Princess Fevronia can be seen near the walls of the Svyato-Troitsky Convent, in the Convent Glade. The monument to Peter and Fevronia was unveiled on 7 July 2012 on the Krestyanina Square, between the Svyato-Troitsky Convent and the Blagoveshchensky Monastery. In ancient times on the Convent Glade there was the Prince's Court, so the monument is a symbolic return of the holy prince and princess to the place where they lived. The two-metre bronze sculpture is mounted on a granite pedestal of the same height. The monument was created by Vladimir Surovtsev, a People's Artist of Russia at his own expense.
Bogoyavlensky Monastery in the village of Mstera (Bogoyavlenskaya Sloboda until the 19th century) was probably founded in the early 17th century. In 1687, a new stone church of the Epiphany was built on the site of the old dilapidated church.
The museum was opened in May 1967. The exhibitions, located in three halls, reflect almost a century and a half of the factory's history, from its establishment in 1871 to the present day. Today, the collections of the History Center number about three thousand exhibits, including cup holders and samovars.
According to legend, the monastery was founded in 1240 by Alexander Nevsky and was intended for orphans and widows left after the Mongol-Tatar pogrom of Suzdal in 1238. Before the campaign against the Swedes (the Battle of Nevsky), the prince vowed to build a monastery in Suzdal, in the homeland of his ancestors, in honor of his patron saint Alexander of Rome.
