Take a Tour of Ina Garten's East Hampton Home and Garden

The Barefoot Contessa star's New York estate is as charming as she is

The East Hampton, N.Y. property that the Barefoot Contessa star calls home is made up of her main house, a "barn" where Garten develops recipes for her cookbooks, and a lush garden that she proudly shows off on Instagram . The estate, which she shares with her husband Jeffrey , is decorated with clean whites and Garten's simple, yet elegant style.

The Kitchen

This is where all the magic happens. Garten can usually be found cooking up new recipes with her assistants Barbara and Lidey in her sprawling kitchen, which boasts a Viking range, Sub Zero refrigerator and plenty of kitchen essentials.

All in the Details

"I love to combine white china and old hotel silver on the kitchen shelves. It's not just lovely to look at, but I use it all!" the cook wrote on a photo of her open white shelving in the kitchen.

The Dining Room

Garten does a lot of her entertaining at a long wooden table just off the kitchen in front of two classic French doors looking out to the main house. “I like dinner parties more than I like cocktail parties,” she says. “Six people around the kitchen table is ideal. Everybody serves their own wine, and I ask somebody to help me clear the dishes. It’s just like a family meal.”

Light and Bright

"I love the warmth of neutral colors and natural materials," she said of this picturesque view of her dining area . "The light streaming in on this glorious day and the peek at the garden outside make it come alive."

The Reading Nook

The couple's study contains an extensive collection of cookbooks, CDs and even more cake stands!

The Exterior

The barn designed by architect Frank Greenwald was inspired by the simple country buildings of Belgium, according to House Beautiful . Directly out front is a stone sitting wall and a fire pit for roasting marshmallows in the summer.

The Backyard

Garten first started her garden after Martha Stewart introduced her to the landscape designer Edwina von Gal, according to ELLE Decor . Now it is home to a rose cottage, willows, irises and lupines.

View from the Garden

"I love sitting here on a quiet day and watching the fog roll in," she wrote of her outdoor area complete with two Adirondak chairs.

Garten adds height and charm to her garden with a floral arch covered in clematis flowers and surrounded by Annabelle hydrangeas.

Farm to Table

A cook's backyard wouldn't be complete without a vegetable garden . There, Garten grows tomatoes, chives, rosemary and many more veggies she incorporates into her dishes.

Pretty Planter

"Fresh rosemary and verbena happy together," she wrote on this garden detail .

The 2022 East Hampton House & Garden Tour: Explore Five Spectacular East Hampton Properties Spanning Five Centuries

The East Hampton Historical Society’s House & Garden Tour, traditionally held over Thanksgiving weekend, is almost here! Explore five spectacular houses, spanning five centuries, including the “White House” and “Greycroft”. Celebrate with Opening Night Cocktails at Maidstone Club: Friday, November 25 (6 – 8 p.m.) and the House Tour: Saturday, November 26 (1 – 4:30 p.m.).

The East Hampton Historical Society is proud to announce the 37 th annual House & Garden Tour, celebrating some of the finest examples of East End architecture. This year’s tour — consisting of five distinguished houses spanning five centuries — is scheduled for Saturday, November 26, from 1 to 4:30 p.m. The East Hampton Historical Society’s House Tour Committee has creatively selected houses that express the unique spirit of living on the East End.  From the 17 th Century to the present day, the society’s annual House Tour offers a one-time-only glimpse inside some of our town’s most storied residences.  Drenched in history, pedigree, and local lure, this year’s tour is sure to inspire, delight and invite appreciation for the stewardship of some of our most charmed properties.  

THE WHITE HOUSE

18 th Century Village Landmark

East Hampton’s “White House”, which dates to 1724, is one of the East Hampton’s most recognizable properties. Standing at the gateway to the village, this historic mansion was completely renovated in 1992 by the late developer Fred Mengoni in the grand American style. Although it was barely ever lived in, it was always meticulously maintained right down to its window boxes holding red geraniums each summer and white Christmas lights for the holidays.  The 7,615-square-foot home — which was moved back from the road in 1906 — is the first house motorists see as they enter the East Hampton Village, making it a welcoming landmark. After an estate sale in December 2020, the White House found new owners who understand the concept of simple luxury.  Pared down to its exquisite bones, this year’s tour offers a very rare look inside East Hampton’s most beloved White House.

19 th Century Masterpiece

Greycroft — its very name conjures up the grand country homes of British literature — was designed in 1893 by architect Isaac Henry Green who introduced the Shingle Style to East Hampton’s summer colony. Completed by 1894 for a prestigious couple, Lorenzo Guernsey and Emma Woodhouse, Green’s signature features — gambrel-roof, delicate fan windows, stairwells with multiple turns, paneled wainscoting, and a boxed beam ceiling — are evident throughout. Undoubtably the most famous aspect of the property is the legacy left by Emma Woodhouse, who worked tirelessly to transform four swampy acres southeast of the house into the first private Japanese garden in America.  After her death in 1908, the gardens, initially kept open to the public, were passed on to her niece, Mary Woodland, who among many things founded the East Hampton Garden Club. The club eventually passed the exotic Water Garden on to the Village, becoming the heart of today’s 24-acre Nature Trail.  If gardens could talk, the grounds of Greycroft would tell a century long story of stewardship and preservation! Greycroft returned to being a single-family residence again in 1946 and underwent a major renovation in 1980-1 by Robert A.M. Stern for its present owner, Alan Patricof, with interiors by neighbor Tony Ingrao. The East Hampton House & Garden tour invites reflective appreciation for this 19 th Century masterpiece.

CENTER-HALL COLONIAL

20 th Century Centerpiece

Owners of the 1919 center-hall colonial in East Hampton set out to revive their home with aligned harmony and orchestrated vision. One, the proprietor of a Manhattan gallery specializing in the best of 20th-century furniture, lighting, and accessories, and the other, a renowned creative event planner, both wanted to reflect the passions they have for their businesses in a carefully collected yet comfortable environment to entertain while maintaining the integrity of the original property. Through thoughtful design and collaboration, this 1919 center-hall centerpiece was updated to the 21 st century while keeping the historical integrity of the house intact.

Vintage detail throughout meets modern convenience in spaces that are perfect for frequent, intimate gatherings. A running theme nods to the ocean with a decided “un-beach house” feel from the Silas Seandel “wave” dining table, or a Christian Astuguevieille chair inspired by the natural undulation of shells, to a 1907 Louis Comfort Tiffany-stained glass window in marine blue floating above the pool house. Furniture, rugs, wallcoverings, upholstery, and art frequently evoke the sea in this Colonial Revival getaway that is at once organic yet glamorous, moody while inviting.

ISAAC W. MILLER HOUSE

17 th Century, AKA “Third House”

One of the best remaining examples of a slant-roof saltbox still exists on Main Street, thanks to the owner’s labor of love to preserve a perfect example of early East End life. Local lure surrounds the origins of this colonial treasure. One source attributed the house to Lion Gardiner, who presented it to his daughter Mary upon her marriage in 1658. Historically, it is called the Isaac W. Miller house, after its owner from the late 19th century, who purchased it from the Hedges family. Fast-forward to 1929, when society architect Aymar Embury II — who designed not only the Arts-and-Craft-style East Hampton Library (1910), but was also working with Robert Moses on the Central Park Zoo and Triborough Bridge — dubbed his property “Third House” for three reasons: 1) it sits third from the corner. 2) Embury believed it to be the third house ever built in East Hampton. 3) It was the third house that he personally owned.

In this present-day remodeling, the house does not try to be an immersive experience, a living museum, or a stage-set of colonialism. It has been made livable for the 21st century with a partial demolition and the addition of a family room, larger kitchen and up-to-date appliances. That is what good stewardship is all about — updating its conveniences, while honoring the exquisite details of its bare (and rare) colonial past.

NEW JEWEL ON THE CROSSWAYS

21 ST Century

The newest house on the 2022 East Hampton House & Garden Tour was developed as a shingle style guest house adjacent to other family residences of the owner. “Shingle Style” homes began to emerge in the late 1800 and is a uniquely American adaptation of other traditions such as Queen Ann, Colonial Revival, and Romanesque. The Crossways off Ocean Avenue utilizes other popular elaborations, such as the curved roof over the porch with shingled porch supports, an eyebrow dormer over the front entry & primary bath, and strips of three or more windows throughout. Inside and out, this classic statement of the shingle style brilliantly expresses homage to the past while embracing the future.

“The House & Garden Tour is one of our most important fundraisers,” said the event chairman Joseph Aversano. “This year’s tour is a visual feast of stylish houses. So, while you’re breathing in the sea air and enjoying the varied terrains and architectural styles, your dollars will support the East Hampton Historical Society’s museums and programs,” he said.

The Opening Night Cocktail for the 2022 East Hampton House & Garden Tour will be held at Maidstone Club in East Hampton Village. Tickets to the Opening Night Cocktail Party are $250 each, which includes entry to the House & Garden Tour the following day.  Tickets to the self-guided 2022 East Hampton House & Garden Tour are $85 in advance and $100 on the day of the tour.

Greycroft grounds include a vintage apple orchard interspersed with contemporary sculptures, most notably a massive head of a young girl by the Japanese master, Yoshitomo Nara.

Wealthy Columbia merchant Ainsley Hall and his wife, Sarah, had this mansion built in 1818. They lived here briefly, until 1823, when Ainsley sold it to Wade Hampton I, who was known as one of the South's richest planters and at one time its largest enslaver. For the next 50 years, the estate grew to be Columbia's grandest residence under his wife, Mary Cantey Hampton, and daughter, Caroline Hampton Preston. Preston’s husband, John Smith Preston, oversaw an expansion of the mansion that doubled its size. The family’s vast material wealth was directly tied to their enslavement of hundreds of adults and children in both Louisiana and South Carolina.      In the 100 years following the Civil War, the mansion and its famed gardens passed through several owners, including the Presbyterian College for Women, Chicora College, and the proprietors of the Hampton-Preston Tourist Home. After an extensive rehabilitation that included the demolition of the antebellum addition, the property opened to the public in 1970 as the Midlands Tricentennial Exposition Center. To commemorate the 200th anniversary in 2018, Historic Columbia updated the property , with new exhibits, hands-on interactive elements, expanded public gardens, and a new exterior paint scheme. garden

The gardens of the Hampton-Preston Mansion have undergone numerous enhancements and expansions over the last decade, culminating in the recently completed Boyd Horticultural Center in 2022. Modeled after the Italianate estate gardens that the Hampton and Preston families frequented on their travels, the modern re-installation of the gardens is now beginning to capture the intimate and exotic feel of the antebellum landscape. 

The Hampton and Preston families ensured that the four-acre grounds around the mansion signaled their extensive wealth and influence. Enslaved workers transformed the landscape into regionally acclaimed gardens that contained a remarkable collection of native varieties and plants from around the world.  With the generous support of the Susan and Darnall Boyd Foundation Historic Columbia  has re-established the sprawling gardens based on extensive historic documentation. Themed gardens on the grounds include the Henry Michael Powell Children’s Garden, the Hiram Powers Fountain Garden, the East and West Arboretums, and finally the Boyd Horticultural Center. Completed in winter 2022, the Boyd Horticultural Center is anchored by a historically informed multi-use glasshouse, which serves several roles including the center of Historic Columbia’s horticultural operations, an interpretive greenhouse, and a space for educational, programmatic, and rental activities.    Our horticulture experts have cataloged every plant on our six historic properties— view the garden database .

Boyd Foundation Horticultural Center

Historic Columbia's hub for horticultural research and propagation

The new Boyd Foundation Horticultural Center , a state-of-the-art greenhouse located on the northwest section of the Hampton-Preston Mansion grounds, completes a decades-long vision to transform the property into a hub for horticultural research, propagation, interpretation and programming. This facility provides the organization an enhanced capacity to care for the 14 acres of grounds and gardens under its care, while interpreting the role that talented gardeners, horticulturists and garden enthusiasts—Black, white, enslaved and free—have played in shaping the capital city, which historically was (and increasingly continues to be) acknowledged for its physical beauty throughout the seasons. The greenhouse, gatehouse, and past improvements to the property and gardens have been made possible through the generosity of the Darnall W. and Susan F. Boyd Foundation .

Mansion Tour

Hampton National Historic Site is one of America's best preserved estates. It includes Hampton Mansion; outbuildings; a farm site with elaborate dairy, barns, standing slave quarters; and formal terraced gardens and other significant landscape features. Hampton preserves 63 acres that were the core of a once-vast agricultural, commercial, and industrial empire built by the Ridgely family of Maryland. More... Hampton Mansion was constructed between 1783 - 1790. This five-part Georgian house was one of the largest and most ornate houses built in America when completed. The immense scale of the 24,000 square foot structure with unique Georgian design elements has major architectural importance. Several dependencies and landscape features near the Mansion have survived from the late 18th to the early 20th century. These extant structures include a rare Ice House, Paint House, Smoke House, two Privies, two large stone Stables, the Falling Gardens, the walled Family Cemetery, two Greenhouses, Gardener's House, ornate wrought iron Entrance Gates, Garden Maintenance Building, Pump House, and 1910 Garage. Hampton became the first National Park Service property in 1948 to be designated for its architectural significance. The Home Farm , across Hampton Lane, represents the core of the estate that once supported life at Hampton Mansion. Surviving structures include the Lower (Farm) House, two stone Slave Quarters, Log Structure, Ash House, Dairy, Long House/Granary, and Mule Barn, foundations for a Corn Crib and remnants of fields and meadows. The oldest extant building, the gambrel roofed Lower House, was constructed in the mid-18th century. The Ridgely family lived here while the Mansion was being built and again after the site became a National Park in 1948. In the intervening years, it was home to overseers and farm managers, and activities of the Home Farm were directed from this building. Period Rooms The principal rooms in Hampton Mansion are furnished to interpret different periods of family occupancy. These are: Parlour:  1790-1810 Master Bedchamber: 1790-1810 Dining Room: 1810-1830 Drawing Room: 1830-1860 Northeast (Children’s) Bedchamber: 1830-1860 Music Room: 1870-1890 Guest Bedchamber: 1890-1910 Kitchen:  Mid-19th century Great Hall: Mixed Periods.

Inside a Never-Before-Seen Hamptons Home Designed by Peter Marino

“The house almost disappears into the landscape,” the architect tells us.

See Peter Marino’s Hamptons Stunner

Low slung and blinding in its whiteness, the Long Island home has aluminum railings and screens, or brise-soleils, inspired by French modernist architecture. “My approach to residential design is heavily influenced by the site and functionality of the house and the way the clients want to live,” Marino said in an email interview. “For this client, it’s a seasonal home, and I find that for second homes, clients are much more willing to entertain new ideas. We embraced an indoor-outdoor aesthetic where massive expanses of glass were used to connect views directly to the ocean.”

A 20-foot-high living space anchors the interior, together with a floating stair that links the lower and upper floors and an exposed steel bridge that connects the top story’s two wings. “It’s free and easy, not complicated,” Marino said. “The house almost disappears into the landscape.”

Ingrid Abramovitch, the Executive Editor at ELLE Decor, writes about design, architecture, renovation, and lifestyle, and is the author of several books on design including Restoring a House in the City.

Bethenny Frankel Gives Tour of Her Luxurious Hamptons Home — And Daughter Bryn’s Teen Dream Bedroom

Bethenny Frankel took her social media followers on an outdoor tour of her Hamptons home.

In a video shared via TikTok on Saturday, June 1, Frankel, 53, took her followers on a tour of the outdoor area of her Hamptons home, which featured stunning views of the ocean. The Real Housewives of New York City alum showed off the sitting area just outside of her bedroom, which she can access through a sliding glass door.

“I repurpose everything, I don’t waste,” Frankel says in the video. “All of that furniture is also old furniture that I just sort of restyled. I think, like clothing, you should restyle your old furniture.”

She noted that almost all of her “old” patio furniture had been purchased from stores like Target or TJ Maxx.

“I get rid of really nothing,” Frankel continued. “I don’t waste and I use what I have before starting to buy new and then filling in. I think people buy way too much. Like, these tables I’ve had for years in storage, never had a purpose for them. This couch was at my old house; this rug was sitting in a garage somewhere. I don’t just run out and buy everything. I do repurpose everything.”

In a separate video via TikTok , Frankel showed off her 13-year-old daughter Bryn’s Hamptons bedroom, which, like her mom’s room, also features a sliding glass door leading out to the patio.

“My little Principessa has a gorgeous outdoor area,” Frankel says in the clip. Bryn’s bed also includes a small pullout chair and art that she made hanging on the walls.

“This used to be two small rooms, so I made it into one room so she could have a decent closet,” Frankel continued. “The trickery is that there isn’t enough room to really have a big bed, so we had to get smaller end tables.” Bryn’s room also includes a spacious walk-in closet.

Bryn has not yet joined her mother in the Hamptons, but Frankel detailed a hilarious conversation she recently had with her daughter via TikTok. “Bryn just walked in and said to me, ‘What’s a nepo baby?’” she said on Thursday, May 30. “I’m like, ‘Go get yourself a freaking mirror.’” (Frankel shares Bryn with ex-husband Jason Hoppy .)

In March, Frankel took to Instagram to clap back at trolls who had been criticizing both Bryn’s fashion sense and the reality star’s parenting skills.

“[My fans] will come and f—k you up if you come and talk about my child,” Frankel said via Instagram Reels on March 20. “The one thing you cannot criticize is my parenting. You better keep f—ing walking and take a seat because I will come to your house and I will f—k you up myself.”

She went on to praise her “nearly perfect” daughter, saying, “I have the most beautiful, thoughtful, caring, loving, spiritual, sensitive, darling, loving, smart human being for a child.”

This Whimsical Parisian-Style Bungalow Is Not Your Typical Beach House

By Morgan Goldberg

Photography by Nick Glimenakis

Styled by Brittany Albert

Beach houses are often outfitted with white linen upholstery, sea blue accents, and lots of nautical stripes, but Emma Beryl ’s clients requested something totally different for their East Hampton, New York, getaway. “They described it as ‘Parisian beach whimsical,’” says the Brooklyn-based interior designer. “They’re very artsy. They wanted the home to feel laid-back, family-friendly, and colorful. They wanted there to be a very obvious sense of place, but not too literal.”

Emma avoided coastal clichés in the bungalow by opting for a warm, summery palette of yellows, pinks, and greens. She incorporated a bevy of floral prints and natural materials like rattan and wood. And though she did pepper the place with shell motifs, most of them—aside from the realistic shell-shaped plaster sconces in the primary bedroom—are understated. “Scallops are sprinkled all around,” she notes.

“It is in a really nice location,” shares Emma. “It feels very bucolic. There’s a large yard. It’s very close to the beach, but the house itself didn’t have a lot of character and they’re very design-driven people.”

In the living room, Emma made the fireplace into a focal point using a coat of butter-toned limewash. She then furnished the relaxed space with rounded Jacques Deneef N701 sofas , sculptural wicker lounge chairs from The Citizenry, and a wiggly travertine Lawson-Fenning x CB2 coffee table . “We paid a lot of attention to the shapes of the pieces,” she explains. “Everything is funky or interesting or different. There’s really nothing standard.”

A woven seagrass Rush House rug stretches from the sitting area into the dining zone, where Emma upgraded banana leaf fiber Crate & Barrel chairs with custom cushions in playful fabrics. “I went to the D&D Building [in NYC] with the client and it was fun to mix and match a ton of patterns and not really overthink any of them,” she shares. “That’s kind of the theme of the house: Just lay back and have fun.”

“The kitchen was just a white box—it wasn’t offensive, it just didn’t have any personality,” Emma describes, which is why she installed a pearly tile backsplash, painted the island yellow, and brought in wood Anthropologie counter stools .

Emma combined three smoked glass Lulu and Georgia pendants to create a single canopy over the dining table.

Emma gave the existing kitchen, with its white, Shaker-style cabinets and brushed nickel hardware, a light-touch update, painting the island base a corn yellow and installing a new pearly tile backsplash. “It has a little bit of iridescence, which we love because it felt like the inside of a seashell,” she describes.

The primary bedroom pairs pink with green—but not in a preppy way.

For the primary bedroom, Emma turned again to limewash, this time in a peachy hue. The client found a wavy olive velvet platform bed by Jennifer Taylor that contrasts it perfectly. But Emma wanted to avoid the preppiness associated with that classic pink and green combination, so she “brought a blue dresser in that almost neutralized those two colors.” Simple Lulu and Georgia white oak nightstands complete the look.

“I’ve actually always wanted to do a really impactful wallpaper on a big slanted ceiling like that,” Emma says.

The daughter’s room, though, is Emma’s favorite. She covered the walls and slanted ceiling in a sweet bloom-filled wallpaper, creating an immersive garden vibe. “It feels like you’re in this magical tent,” she says. “There is a full flower canopy around you.” Florals appear in the guest room, too, on the eye-catching Willa Arlo Interiors wingback bed . The bold, large-format roses aren’t what one might expect in a beach house, but the whimsy is perfect for a weekend escape.

“We brought in that scalloped chair from Lulu and Georgia and that’s the weightiest thing,” considers Emma. “We didn’t do a ton in there, but we just made it feel like an extension of the rest of the house.”

A bold floral bed welcomes overnight guests. The pink lamp is from Crate&kids .

How jennifer lopez’s ticket sales prove tour cancellation was personal, not about popularity.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Ben Affleck’s love don’t cost a thing — except a tour.

Jennifer Lopez reportedly canceled her “This Is Me… Live | The Greatest Hits” tour in order to “save” her and the actor’s “doomed” marriage .

The singer’s friends told the Daily Mail Thursday that Lopez, 54, is “willing to make any sacrifice, including giving up being J.Lo” and “dimming her shine.”

One pal claimed, “She doesn’t want to be divorced. She doesn’t want to end up like Madonna — on her own at 60. She can’t bear the idea of failure.”

The report also pointed out that tickets had been 78 percent sold out after an initial struggle to sell them , with a source saying, “If [she] had done this [cancellation] early on, then it would have been about ticket sales because they did start slow, but it was not.”

The “heartsick and devastated” performer, whose planned Las Vegas residency is also in jeopardy , made her tour cancellation announcement last week, with Live Nation reps blaming her step back on spending time with “children, family and close friends.”

In addition to the reveal, Lopez has been “toning down her look … to try to hang onto the marriage,” the Daily Mail’s insider alleged.

The friend pointed out that the actress even “lets” Affleck, 51, smoke , adding, “She won’t give up this relationship.”

Lopez’s rep has yet to return Page Six’s request for comment.

Speculation began swirling in May that Lopez and Affleck were headed for divorce nearly two years after their Las Vegas wedding , with the “Gigli” co-stars living in separate homes .

While Lopez has yet to directly comment on the rumors, she did shut down a bold reporter who asked about her marital woes.

“You know better than that,” the “Let’s Get Loud” singer said during her “Atlas” press tour.

Although Affleck skipped out on both of her Netflix movie’s premieres to film “The Accountant 2,” the pair have since put on a united front with multiple outings.

Not only did they spend Sunday at his son Samuel’s basketball game , but they also made a joint appearance at his daughter Violet’s graduation party .

However, Lopez left on her own after just one hour.

The Grammy nominee has been married three times before, to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd and Marc Anthony.

Lopez also made headlines for ending her high-profile engagement to Alex Rodriguez before reconciling her romance with Affleck .

As for the “Gone Girl” star, he and Jennifer Garner separated in 2005 after 10 years of marriage and three children .

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
