The Ascension Church and the Cathedral of the Presentation of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God have been preserved. The latter was significantly damaged during the Great Patriotic War . The surviving adjacent bell tower was destroyed no earlier than the 1950s.
The monastery in honor of the meeting of the miraculous icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Vladimir on the River Veriaž was founded by a vow by the Novgorod boyar Fedor Syrkov around 1548 in gratitude for the safe embassy in the Livonian city of Kolyvan (modern Tallinn ) [1] . In 1570, the monastery was damaged during the reprisal of Ivan IV over Novgorod; during the Time of Troubles, the monastery was repeatedly ruined by Poles, Swedes and Lithuanians. Until 1694, the Syrkov Monastery was dependent on the St. Nicholas Monastery. In 1712, the monastery was transformed from a male to a female, under the name "Novodevichy" [2] .
The monastery is famous for having lived in it for 20 years in the closure, Vera Silencer , who appeared for the first time in 1834 in the vicinity of Tikhvin and identified by some researchers with Empress Elizaveta Alekseevna , wife of Alexander I [3] . Her grave is located near the walls of the Vladimir Cathedral of the monastery.
