Iversky Nunnery by bugulma
Just opposite the beer manufacture you can see the nunnery that was given back to Orthodox Church in 1995. It is Iversky Nunnery, opened in 1850 and got its name in 1860. Next years it was built 4 churches and bell tower on the territory of the nunnery. In 1919 the nunnery was closed of course and the area was divided for workers to live and 10 years later to shoe manufacture. Nowadays the restoration works are going on in all churches of the nunnery.
