St. Nicholas-on-Uleima Monastery

Uglich, Yaroslavl Oblast Russia

Russian Orthodox

When founded in the beginning of the 15th century, all the buildings were wooden. In the second half of the 17th century, stone construction began. The Cathedral of St Nicholas was built in 1675; the tall belfry added in the early 19th century. The multi-story belfry is the most unusual part of the monastery.
