Russia is an amazing country. Many historical and architectural monuments are located not only in big cities that tourists come from all over the world, but also in smaller towns such as Zadonsk, which is located on Central Russian upland, on the left Bank of the don.
The City is located 60 km from Lipetsk. Its population consists of 9630 people (2016). Zadonskiy region is rich in unique historical monuments. It turned the city into a unique entity on the territory of our country, one of the recognized centers of Orthodoxy in Russia. In the nineteenth century it was often referred to as “the Russian Jerusalem”. The dry river bed of Deshevki divides the city into two parts. The right part of Zadonsk considered noble, but the left - Philistine.
On a hill, in the noble part of the city, is the Purification Tikhon's monastery (men). Today, after the restoration of the bell tower, he looks particularly majestic. The Holy Bishop Tikhon moved to the city in the middle of the XVIII century. He sought solitude, going to the village of Dunino, which is located North of Zadonsk. Tikhon so liked this place that he considered him a Saint. In the early nineteenth century on this land was erected a temple, and in 1820 - the Church and bell tower.
So Zadonskiy on the earth there was a monastery. In Soviet times, as was her wont, it was closed and almost completely destroyed. Remaining space used as a warehouse for obsolete agricultural equipment. In 1994 he started the restoration of the monastery.
Today it is an active monastery. Restored Cathedral, private building, bell tower, sanitized area.
Sights of Zadonsk Lipetsk region is in the first place, numerous places of worship. Citizens and guests of the city consider the Nativity of virgin Mary the monastery is the main one. He attracts a thousands of tourists and pilgrims.
A famous monastery received thanks stored here the list of the miraculous Vladimir icon and the relics of Tikhon of Zadonsk. After extensive restoration works, the monastery regained its original appearance. This huge complex is fenced, with a Cathedral, a bell tower and churches. The Foundation of the monastery belongs to the early seventeenth century (1610).
He began to create two Moscow monk, who had found solitude in the beautiful forests of the don. Initially, the monastery was made of wood, but in 1692 it was destroyed in a fire. The amazing thing is that magic list, brought here by the founders, was not hurt. Almost immediately after the fire, built a new Church, and in 1736 began construction of the Cathedral. The bell tower was erected much later (1837), in the Empire style, which in those days was very common.
During the Soviet period the monastery organized the work in the cannery. As a result, buildings are dilapidated, and many were destroyed. Since the early 90-ies of the complex began to recover, and in 2014 restoration work was completed.
Many people that have never been to these places, ask: “What you can see in this little town, what sights?” Zadonskaya Church of the assumption is not too large, but she is a very beautiful building with adjacent bell tower stands on a square surrounded by gardens and fountains.
It was built in the year 1800 in the classicist style. The Church is remarkably in harmony with the monastery visible from here. In the Soviet period of our history it housed a Museum of local lore. Because of this it is not too badly damaged. Restored and transferred to the ROC in 1997.

The House of Ulrich – this is a sample of residential architecture in the Empire style. I must say that immediately after the October revolution appeared in the city Museum. The initiator of its creation was the G. M. Pavlov. In the mid-1930s for unknown reasons, the Museum was closed, and nobody can say anything about the fate of the first exhibits.
Volunteer, the Museum was reconstructed in 1975. Initially, he was placed in the assumption Church. And in 1997 the Museum was transferred to unusual for such a small town mansion. It is believed that it was built by the landowner Vikulin, and later it became the owner of the chemist Ulrich. The last owners of the house were the nobles Gruszecka, who received it as a wedding present from parents.

This tree in the city known to every inhabitant. According to legend, under it loved to rest of SV. Tikhon. The old-timers warned the owners, in a plot which grows a tree, whose age is more than two centuries, that it can not be cut. However, the owner of the site found these warnings are not serious. And hired workers to cut down a tree, the mighty branches of which blocked out the house, not missing the light. But they barely started to work, there was some ethereal music, reminiscent of Church music. Working in a fright threw axes and hastily withdrew.
In 1973 the owner of the land on which the oak tree died. After the funeral, the widow returned with relatives from the cemetery, he heard the oak “singing” akathist. News of the miracle tree instantly spread through the city, people came to listen to his melody. However, the singing oak is not always. Often this happens when someone dies a violent death.
