The Decision of the Executive Committee of the Mogilev City Council of Workers’ Deputies No. 67 dated February 1, 1952 “On the allocation of a land plot for the improvement of the site to the architectural monument of the Podnikolsky Cathedral” was adopted

The creation of St. Nicholas Monastery dates back to the first half of the 17th century. By the end of the 18th century, an architectural complex had developed on its territory, including St. Nicholas Cathedral, St. Onufrievsky Church, residential buildings, and a belfry.

By 1934, the monastery’s churches were closed. In 1936-1941, St. Nicholas Cathedral housed a transit prison, and since 1946, a bookstore. Since the mid-1950s, restoration work began in the monastery complex, which was carried out intermittently until the end of the 1980s, but did not lead to a full restoration of the architectural monument.

After the resumption of activity of the Mogilev Diocese, in 1989-1991, the revival of the St. Nicholas Convent began. Now the monastery has been completely restored and landscaped. The complex is included by UNESCO in the register of the most valuable buildings in Europe in the Baroque style, is one of the religious and tourist centers of Mogilev region.
