Located close to the River Station is the Dormition Cathedral which is all that remains of the once influential Otroch Monastery. The Otroch Monastery was most likely founded in the 13th century, the first mention of it came in 1265, possibly on the orders of Prince Yaroslav Yaroslavich of Tver. In time it became the largest monastery in Tver lands. In 1531 St Maximus (Maksim) the Greek was exiled here and remained here for twenty years. However the monastery is more famous for its connection with Metropolitan Philip II of Moscow who was later canonised. It was here that Ivan the Terrible's henchman Malyuta Skuratov strangled the former metropolitan in 1569. In 1918 the monastery was closed down and in the 1930s all its buildings were destroyed except the Dormition Cathedral which dates from 1722. This cathedral was only reopened in 1994.
