Along Lake Ladoga on the road to St. Petersburg

We'll have breakfast and go to one more interesting attraction.

The Orthodox monastery in the Leningrad Region, famous for its architectural monuments of the 16th and 17th centuries.
The monastery was founded at the end of the XV century by the Venerable Alexander Svirsky. The oldest building of the monastery is the stone Church of the Intercession of the Mother of God, built in 1533. The church with a refectory and a belfry is made in the Novgorod style. Stone Transfiguration Cathedral with the altar of Venerable Alexander Svirsky built in 1644. The stone cathedral of the Life-Giving Trinity was built in 1791.
The monastery is open to visitors every day: 6:00 to 20:00;
You can apply for a tour by phone +7 (911) 152-56-68.

Until the XIX century the monastery was completely wooden. The first stone building on the territory of the monastery was the Vvedensky temple with a warm side-altar in honour of the Tikhvin icon of the Mother of God. It was built in 1817.
In 1910 instead of the wooden temple that stood over the graves of Alexander Svirsky parents according to the project of diocesan architect A.P.Aplaksin a cathedral of the Epiphany with three side-altars was constructed in Neo-Russian style, but it didn't survived until now.

On the way to St. Petersburg, you can stop in Kirovsk and take a short walk along the banks of the Neva.

And the final point of the trip will be a cozy cafe with an interesting design decoration. European and Pan-Asian cuisine is served here.
