Chudov Monastery

Local nameЧудов монастырь
LocationTverskoy District, Moscow, Russia

The Chudov Monastery was founded in the Moscow Kremlin in 1358 by Metropolitan Alexius of Moscow. The monastery was dedicated to the miracle of the Archangel Michael at Chonae. The Monastery was closed in 1918, and dismantled in 1929.

The construction of the monastery together with its katholikon was finished in 1365. The katholikon was replaced with a new one in 1431 and then once again in 1501–1503. It was traditionally used for baptising the royal children, including future Tsars Feodor I, Aleksey I and Peter the Great. The monastery’s hegumen was considered the first among the hegumens of all the Russian monasteries until 1561.
