History of Stone Construction in Yuriyev-Polskoi
The existing cathedral of the Mikhailo-Arkhangelski Monastery in the town Yuriev-Polskoi dates to the late 18th century. According to earlier inventories, in the religious house it was preceded by a church, erected in the mid-16th century and financed by Prince M.I. Kubenski. This edifice can be reconstructed as a building with a basement floor, having four pillars and one dome, as well as a side-chapel adjoining the southern apse, crowned with its own cupola. At the end of the paper the author quotes the 1630 scribes’ book and the 1763 “Officer’s Inventory”, which describe the Mikhailo-Arkhangelski Monastery.
