Standing in the small square formed at the intersection of Ulitsa Pokrovskaya and Ulitsa Ushakova is the Intercession Church.  Previously the Novopokrovsky Monastery, which was first mentioned in 1674, was located here and it is thought this church dates from around this time, although it was only mentioned for the first time in 1781, by which time the monastery had been dissolved.  The church is a small single-storey structure but with a tall tent-dome bell tower. Some fragments of the church's frescos have been persevered as well as a revered copy of the 'Addition of the Mind' Icon of the Virgin Mary which was painted on canvas and features an image of Christ on the reverse side.
