Situated on the left steep bank of the Teza River. Built on the site of an estate acquired by the landowner A.N. Shubina from her relative N.M. Markov. The architecture of the monumental Assumption Cathedral of the Resurrection-Fyodorovsky Monastery is noteworthy. In the 19th century, the churches of the Moscow Kremlin, especially the Assumption Cathedral, as a symbol and monument to the unity and formation of the centralized Russian state (the coronation of Russian monarchs traditionally took place there), often served as a model for the churches being erected. The model for many large cathedrals built at that time was the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, designed by the architect Konstantin Ton (temples based on Ton's standard designs have been preserved in Uglich, Bogolyubovo, Kozlov, Yelets, but in Ivanovo-Voznesensk the Ascension Church was barbarously blown up), in the Nikolo-Ugreshsky Monastery in the city of Dzerzhinsky, erected according to the design of A.S. Kaminsky in 1880-1894. The Cathedral of the Nikolo-Ugreshsky Monastery is in many ways imitated by the Assumption Cathedral of the Voskresensko-Fyodorovsky Monastery, designed by the Vladimir provincial architect Pyotr Gustavovich Begen. Despite the fact that its side domes are decorative, the similarity with the main cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin is enhanced by the introduction of an arcature-column belt between the windows of the first and second lights. This motif, as is known, was borrowed by Moscow from the Vladimir-Suzdal architecture of the 12th century. The Assumption Cathedral was built over 8 years, from 1897 to 1905. Residential and utility buildings were erected along the perimeter of the main courtyard, the earliest of which - the former Shubina manor house from the last quarter of the 19th century, adapted for the abbot's building - is located to the southwest of the cathedral.
