Troyan monastery Assumption of Virgin Mary
Troyan monastery Assumption of Virgin Mary
Author:

TROYAN MONASTERY must have been in existence long before the l5th century, as legends suggest. It flourished again about the year 1600. From the oldest church it is only the throne stone that has been preserved. Towards the beginning of the l9th century the monastic brotherhood re-erected the monastery. In 1835 master Konstantin built a wonderful main church which was painted by Zahari Zograph in 1847-1849. The spacious residential wings with roomy verandas were built in 1835-1855. In 1865 a tower was raised in the monastery courtyard with a winter church and a belfry on the last floor.

Възхитена съм от обновения манастирски комплекс през последните години. Слава и живот на този ум и ръка,които го правият.Троянският манастир е жив,благодарение на будния си игум.Да е жив и здрав Дядо Генадий! Христос Воскресе!
