Novodevichy Convent

Novodevichy Convent, also known by the name of Bogoroditse-Smolensky Monastery is a very well known cloister in Moscow. When the name Bogoroditse-Smolensky is translated to English the cloister is then known as the New Maidens’ Monastery, which is specifically different in name from the ancient maidens’ convent in Moscow Kremlin. In 2004 the UNESCO World Heritage Site incorporated the monastery as part of its heritage site due to the fact that unlike other Moscow monasteries the Novodevichy Convent has remained intact since the 17th century.
