The Spasso- Prilutsky Monastery in Vologda

The Spaso-Prilutsky Monastery  is located outside the old city of Vologda, on the bank of the Vologda River. The history of this monastery goes back to the 14th-century and Sergius Radonzh and his followers and was founded by Dmitry Prilutsky, formerly a hegumen of the Nikolsky Monastery in Pereslavl-Zalessky.The monastery is built as a fortress, has an approximately rectangular shape, and is completely surrounded by a wall, which has four corner towers and three gates. The wall was completed in 1656. The main cathedral is the Saint Saviour Cathedral , built in 1537-1542 and was the first stone building in Vologda.
 
In August 1924, the monastery was abolished. The buildings were subsequently used for a variety of purposes, including living quarters, a prison, a depot, and a museum. Fortunately all the buildings consisting the ensemble of the monastery were preserved. ……
In 1962, the wooden Assumption Church, which was formerly located in the Alexandro-Kushtsky Monastery close to the selo of Ustye, was transferred here. This is one of the earliest surviving wooden buildings in Russia.
In 1991, the monstery was handed back to the Russian Orthodox Church
