One of the latest preserved monuments of white-stone architecture of the pre-Horde invasion in the Vladimir land. Part of the walls, covered with elegant stone carvings, have been preserved unchanged. Against the background of a flat carpet pattern, images of fantastic animals and monsters, beasts, birds, and people stand out in high relief. Here are lions, centaurs, and birds of paradise-Sirins. Their purely decorative figures are usually mirrored, naturally combined with the curls of the ornamental pattern. Along with them, images of gospel scenes, holy warriors, the Mother of God, and St. George are introduced into the decor.
