"This is a fine example of a working Orthodox monastery, with military features that are typical of the 15th to the 18th century, the period during which it developed. The main church of the Lavra, the Cathedral of the Assumption (echoing the Kremlin Cathedral of the same name), contains the tomb of Boris Godunov. Among the treasures of the Lavra is the famous icon, The Trinity , by Andrei Rublev. 📸 © Sacred sites"

"L'église du Sauveur, de style baroque, date de 1686-1692. L'édifice, posé sur un soubassement surélevé et entouré par une galerie, est accessible par un large escalier. L'église est décorée de demi-colonnes sculptées, de coquilles et de grappes de raisins stylisées"

"UNESCO World Heritage Trinity-St. Sergius was founded as a monastery between 1337 and 1340 by the Russian monk and mystic Sergius of Radonezh. It remains today the spiritual center of Russian Orthodox Christianity, with bearded Sergius monks in their flowing black robes and distinctive "Klobuk" headgear milling from church to seminary to refectory. At first sight, the seemingly impregnable 40-foot- (12-m-) high walls punctuated by towers suggest military might rather than peaceful pilgrimage. This is exactly what Ivan the Terrible wanted to achieve when he turned the monastery into a massive fortress in the sixteenth century. It withstood a sixteen-month siege of Polish and Lithuanian troops in the early 1600s. Trinity-St. Sergius Monastery (also known as the Holy Trinity Lavra) lies some 45 miles (75 km) northeast of Moscow and comprises a hotchpotch of Russian vernacular architecture in its thirty-plus buildings and towers. At its heart stand not one but two beautiful cathedrals. The Cathedral of the Assumption is recognized immediately by its four gorgeous blue onion domes patterned with golden stars. It was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible and took twenty-eight years to complete. The lofty interior was painted in just one hundred days by students of the acclaimed Yaroslavi school of artists led by Dmitriy Griorev in 1684. Their names are inscribed beneath a fresco of the Last Judgment on the west wall. Outside the west door is the grave of Tsar Boris Godunov, the only tsar buried outside Moscow or St. Petersburg (his skull is missing, apparently). The Holy Trinity Cathedral was built in 1422 and the holy relics of St. Sergius were discovered miraculously intact during its construction. The building is distinguished by its gleaming white exterior and gold-topped domes (semicircular or shaped like a cross section of an onion)."
