The Sretensky Monastery in Gorokhovets is a women's monastery of the Russian Orthodox Church, located in the main city square on Sovetskaya Street. It stands out among other buildings due to its bell tower, which is over 35 meters tall and was built in the late 17th century. The bell tower, situated between the monastery buildings, features strict and concise architecture. The main decorative embellishments are concentrated on the lower tier, especially around the entrance and on the elegant tent above the octagonal pillar of the belfry. According to historical sources, the monastery was founded in 1658, and initially, all its buildings were wooden. In 1678, two wooden churches were built: the warm Sergievskaya and the cold Sretenskaya, as well as monastic cells. In the late 17th century, with the blessing of Patriarch Tikhon, the wooden structures began to be replaced with stone ones. In 1689, a stone cathedral was built at the expense of merchant Yershov Semyon Yefimovich on the site of the wooden Sretensky Cathedral. This cathedral, dedicated to the Meeting of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, is distinguished by its unique domes with ornate crosses and glazed tiles, giving it a rich decorative quality. The church is adorned with a kokoshnik frieze, various forms of window frames, intricate belts, perspective portals, and colorful tiles, creating a vivid image. The carved golden crosses, sparkling in the sun, stand out particularly. The window openings of the cathedral are decorated with carved frames. This cathedral is one of the most significant architectural monuments of the 17th century in Gorokhovets.

One of the first stone buildings of the monastery was the bell tower located above the main gates. It dominates the monastery ensemble and was erected in 1689 when the first stone cathedral was built. In the late 17th century, the church of Sergius of Radonezh was also built, along with cells for the nuns and a bell tower. Although the church is small and has a simple facade with one dome, it is an important architectural monument of the 17th century. Inside, a stove decorated with colorful tiles has been preserved, showcasing the craftsmanship of Gorokhovets builders. During the Soviet era, the monastery was closed, and the nuns were expelled. In the 1990s, the monastery was revived, and the first residents returned to assist in the restoration.

Today, the Sretensky women's monastery in Gorokhovets is active, and on its territory, there is a small wooden house where the residents live, who returned after the monastery's revival.
