Stable in the Sun uploaded on 5 December 2007

This was the stable of the Khrapovitsky Estate. Local legend has it that Count Khrapovitsky modeled the design for his stable on the castle of a German noble of his acquaintance, in order to show his superiority. (i.e. You live in a building such as this, for me it is fit only for animals.)

Founded in 1345, this is quite possibly the most beautiful monastery in Russia. Don't miss the opportunity to take a few photographs of the monastery in its entirety from atop a nearby overlook. (If you walk to the monastery from the train station, you should not miss this exceptional spot!)
