The Holy Trinity Novo-Golutvin Nunnery

The Holy Trinity Novo-Golutvin Nunnery is one of the largest nunneries in Russia. A spiritual center has existed on this site since the 14th century. The bishop’s residence of the Kolomna Diocese was located here from 1350 onwards, and the Novo-Golutvin Monastery was later set up here.
