The Chapel of Cyril of Novoezersk, a brick octagonal structure with a tented roof, is a monument of religious architecture from the second half of the 19th century. Cyril of Novoezersk, venerated as an Orthodox saint and miracle worker, was born in the Kostroma province, although the exact date of his birth is unknown. According to legend, during his stay at the Tikhvin Monastery, he was shown an image of the Mother of God, which directed him to Lake Beloe to establish a monastery. Cyril settled by Lake Novo, where on Red Fiery Island he built cells and two churches. In 1517, after other hermits joined him, the Cyril of Novoezersk Monastery was founded, becoming one of the significant monasteries of Belozersk alongside the Cyril of Belozersk, Ferapontov, and Goritsky monasteries. The venerable Cyril died in 1537, and his relics were discovered in 1649 and kept in the monastery. The monastery was closed during Catherine's reforms in 1764 but continued to operate until the 1917 revolution. After the revolution, the relics of Cyril of Novoezersk were uncovered and lost, and a prison was established on the territory of the former monastery. Initially, it served as a colony for political prisoners but later became a place for dangerous criminals. The prison is still in operation today.

The chapel in Belozersk was built in 1877 in Trade Square, one of the busiest places in the city. In the 1930s, the Soviet authorities closed it, and it was used for economic purposes. In the 2000s, the chapel was returned to the faithful.
