A female convent, founded in 1908 by Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna (sister of Alexandra Feodorovna, the last Empress of Russia) to assist sick, wounded, and maimed soldiers in their recovery, and to provide for the needs of the poor and orphans. - In 1908-12, Aleksey Shchusev designed the Church of Saints Martha and Mary and the Holy Protection Cathedral, both structures being Art Nouveau renderings of a medieval Novgorod architectural type. The cathedral's snow-white walls are adorned with carved crosses. The interior contains frescoes and mosaics.
