Novodevichy Convent

What distinguishes Novodevichy Convent is white walls and red-and-white Moscow Baroque churches form a compact monastic ensemble beside a pond. Its strongest appeal is a direct, indoor experience of history and architecture in Moscow.

Novodevichy Convent

Why go

White walls and red-and-white Moscow Baroque churches form a compact monastic ensemble beside a pond. At Novodevichy Convent, that feature establishes the main reason to stop. The convent's close ties to dynastic and political history give its architecture unusual narrative depth. This second observation changes the visit by connecting Novodevichy Convent to history and architecture; it deserves attention before you leave Novodevichy Convent.
