The Znamensky Monastery in Irkutsk dates from 1689 and was built by Vlas Sidorov. It was originally built of wood, which led to its deterioration over time, requiring some major reconstruction. For five years its congregation struggled to pick up the stone work and succeeded in 1772. Since then, to the Znamensky Monastery were added the cells of the Saints Apostles of Trifon and Dimitrios, the Kazan and the Transfiguration chapel, gradually reaching the for of the wonderful sacred assembly that we can admire today.
