Bishop 's Complex

ул. Орджоникидзе, 10, Пермь, Permskiy kray, Russian Federation

Description

Once upon a time, the cathedral - the most important - Perm Cathedral was located on this place. There were also houses for the clergy, a monastery hotel, a garden and a cemetery. Governors, state councillors, monks, doctors were buried in the churchyard, that is, people who did a lot for Perm and Permians. After the revolution, the cemetery was destroyed: the bars were broken at the clean-up and the tombstones were taken out. A zoo was placed in the vacant place. The ministers of the church were expelled from the buildings.

Such blasphemy was not in vain. Since the 20s, ghosts have settled in the bishop's complex. For almost a hundred years, people have been talking about the strangeness that happens here at night. Night watchmen swear that they hear mysterious sounds and footsteps in empty halls. The artist of the museum admits that he met with a ghost, a lady dressed in black clothes. And the townspeople, walking along the embankment in the evenings, have more than once seen a wandering light in the black openings of windows.

One of the legends is connected with the last archbishop of the cathedral - Andronikos. After the revolution, the Red commissars forced him to dig his own grave, and then covered him alive with earth. A sad monk sometimes wanders through the halls of the cathedral, terrifying museum workers.
