Ipatiev monastery. Russia. Kostroma

Many people in Russia know about our famous Ipatiev monastery. Every time when I'm near it with my camera, I can not deny myself the pleasure of a shoot)

Holy Trinity Ipatiev monastery is situated on the spit at the confluence of the rivers Volga and Kostroma. The monastery is male. It's the cradle of the Romanov dynasty. Played an important role during the "Time of Troubles".

The fatal fact is: The Romanov dynasty began here, in the Ipatiev monastery the rite of summoning to the throne of Mikhail Romanov. And ended with the execution of the Royal family in the Ipatiev house in Ekaterinburg.
