Ferapontov Monastery in Vologda

Ferapontov monastery was founded in 1398. This was when Ferapont the Reverend established a new settlement on a lake not far from Vologda. There were many villages around this (BEAUTY) place and soon people started to come to him for advice.
Then some people decided to stay with him as monks. That’s (ACTUAL) how the monastery was started.
Later Ferapont built a wooden church and other (CONSTRUCT). He left the monastery to build another one but never returned. However, the monastery remained both a (FAME) and popular place even without him.
Now tourists can enjoy its (AMAZE) frescoes, created in 1502. It may seem (POSSIBLE), but these frescoes have remained safe without restoration till the present day. Now the monastery is a museum. In 2000 the Ensemble of the Ferapontov Monastery was included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
