The Dormition Cathedral in the Kremlin was consecrated in 1399.
The town's name is based either on a personal name (cf. Zvenislav, Zvenimir) or on a hydronym (cf. the Zvinech, Zvinyaka, Zveniga Rivers); the derivation from "town of ringing (bells)" is a folk etymology.[6]
The community has existed since the 12th century, although its first written mention is dated around 1339, in the last will of Grand Duke of MoscowIvan I Daniilovich Kalita, in which he says: "Thus, I pass on to my sonIvan: Zvenigorod, Kremchina,Ruza..."[7][8] In the historical records, or annals (лéтопись [letopis'] in Russian), Zvenigorod is first mentioned around 1382, soon afterkhanTokhtamysh burnt down Moscow, and destroyed a number of towns on the way, including Zvenigorod.[9][10]
Zvenigorod rose to prominence in the late 14th century after it was bequeathed byDmitry Donskoy to hissecond son Yuri, who founded his residence on the steep bank of theMoskva River. The local kremlin, called Gorodok, contains the only fully preserved example of 14th-century Muscovite architecture, the Dormition Cathedral (1399). The cathedral's interior features frescoes attributed toAndrei Rublev.
TheStorozhi Monastery near Zvenigorod was established in 1398 bySt. Savva, one of the first disciples ofSergius of Radonezh. The oldest church is thekatholikon completed in 1405 and dedicated to the feast of theNativity of the Theotokos. In 1650, the monastery was chosen byTsar Alexis as his suburban residence. In five years, they constructed a white-stone royal palace and a festive chamber fortsaritsa. The compound was encircled with stone walls and towers, patterned after those of theTrinity Lavra of St. Sergius. Particularly noteworthy is a large belfry, erected in four bays in 1650 and crowned with three tents and a clocktower. A church over the holy gates was consecrated to theHoly Trinity in 1652.[11]
After the death ofFeodor III, who spent most of his time there, the monastery declined. In May 1918, when theBolsheviks tried to seize the relics of St. Savva, several persons were shot dead. In 1985, the cloister was assigned to theDanilov Monastery in Moscow. St. Savva's relics were returned to the monastery in 1998.
