New Materials about Tver Medieval Architecture: The Cathedral of Assumption of Zheltikov Monastery
The article focuses on the Assumption Cathedral of Zheltikov monastery in Tver built in the beginning of the 15th century. The remains of the monument found in 2017 are represented by the main volume and the northern side chapel and allow us to talk about it as a building, which evidently had a vaulted structure unique for its time. In conjunction with another Tver Church of the early 15th century — the St. Nicholas Church in Staritsa — stone buildings of Zheltikov Monastery are not only interesting as a valuable material on the history of medieval architecture of the Principality of Tver, but also clearly define the features of regional architectural school.
