Blagoveshchensky Convent (Church of The Annunciation)

Blagoveshchensky female monastery is located in Krasnoyarsk on Lenin Street, 15. It was founded in 1995 as the first women's convent in Krasnoyarsk eparchy after a long break. The temple, now known as Blagoveshchenskaya church, was built from 1804 and completed in the 1820s by masters from Yeniseisk under the supervision of Irkutsk architect Ivan Prohorov. In 1819 General-governor of Siberia M.M. Speransky visited it. The image of Saint Prince Alexander Nevsky, given by Emperor Alexander I in 1820, is still kept here. After severe damage during the Soviet period, the building was restored in the XXI century.
