Just outside the Pokrovsky Convent is the ensemble of St Nicholas's Church and Ss Peter and Paul's Church. The prettier of the two churches is Ss Peter and Paul's Church - the summer church - which was built in 1694 and is a standard cube building with five tall domes. The neighbouring winter church is the simpler St Nicholas' Church which was added in 1712 during the reign of Peter the Great after he had exiled his first wife to Suzdal.
