Avraamiev Pokrovsky Gorodetsky Monastery (Russian: Авраа́миев Покро́вский Городе́цкий монастырь) is a male monastery in the Galich Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church in the village of Nozhkino, Kostroma Oblast, on the shore of Lake Chukhloma.
This monastery was founded in the last third of the 14th century by The Venerable Monk Abraham of Galich, disciple of Saint Sergius of Radonezh (after having founded a monastery on the shores of Lake Galich, dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of God).
[2] Abraham built a wooden church dedicated to the Protection of the Mother of God where many local residents came to pray.
The Church of Protection was built in 1608 at the request of Tsar Vasili IV and under the blessing of Patriarch Saint Hermogenes.
Above the well dug by Abraham, a small wooden chapel was built where people come in procession every year.
Later, the local authorities planned to turn the premises into a holiday home for workers from the surrounding area.
At the beginning of the 1970s, restoration work began, notably with the help of teams of students from the Moscow Institute of Architecture (MArchI).
