The Sacristy (Riznitsa)

The monastery’s sacristy has a valuable museum filled with icons, precious ecclesiastical items such as jewel covered staffs, hats, chalices and necklaces and illustrated copies of the gospels made by medieval monks. On the first floor you can find icons painted by Rublev and Ushakov, while upstairs the final exhibit has portraits of Russian nobility including Catherine the Great, yet more precious jewellery and some impressive old English carriages.
