Not far from the Uvod River embankment, in the old part of Ivanovo, towers a five-domed temple of red brick raise- the Sviato-Vvedensky monastery. For over a hundred years it has been called the Red Church. The church, the fence and the house of the clergy of the church were built on the funds donated by Ivanovo industrialists and workers of the weaving mills. At the beginning of the 20th century the complex of the Sviato-Vvedensky monastery became the largest in Ivanovo.
During the Soviet era the state archive housed the church. Only in 1990 with the hunger strike of four women the revival of the church began. When the church was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church, the Sviato-Vvedensky women's monastery was founded here, cells for the sisters and the bell tower were built. Now the monastery is carrying out a great missionary work. The relics of the New Martyrs of Russia and the cassock of the Holy Righteous John of Kronstadt are stored in the church.
