The Chapel of Bones, located at the site of the monastery necropolis in the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery in Murom, was built in the early 20th century. It houses the remains of monks and notable townspeople discovered during the monastery's restoration.

For almost a thousand years, clergy, monks, generous benefactors, and respected residents of Murom were buried within the monastery walls. By the end of the 19th century, a necropolis had formed in the eastern part of the monastery.

Since 1946, the property and territory of the monastery were transferred to the Ministry of Defense, and a military unit was established here, leading to the desecration of Orthodox shrines and the cemetery. A paved parade ground was arranged over the former burial sites.

In 1995, after the monastery was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church, the monks removed the asphalt, and the discovered bones were collected and placed in a specially built chapel.

Today, the area of the former necropolis is fenced off, and a memorial plaque telling the history of the chapel's appearance is installed at the entrance. Visitors to the monastery can order a requiem service here or light a candle for the souls of the departed.
