1398 CE
The Ferapontov monastery is established in 1398 by Ferapont in the inhospitable Vologda region of northern Russia, to the east from the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery, named after his fellow monk, Kirill of Beloozero.
The fame of the monastery would begin to spread under Kirill's disciple, Saint Martinian.
(Preserved more or less intact from the seventeenth century due to its relative inaccessibility, the monastery is today considered one of the purest examples of Russian medieval art, a reason given by UNESCO for its inscription on the World Heritage List. )
