Annotation

The article describes the results of research conducted by the author in the archival fund of the Office of the Holy Synod (Russian State Historical Archive, St. Petersburg). The plans of the Kostroma Kremlin before its reconstruction in the last quarter of the XVIII century are published for the first time: the general plan of 1772 and the project plan for the development of the territory of the former Holy Cross Monastery. The text of the inventory of the Holy Cross Monastery before the fire on May 18, 1773 is published, and the text of the report on the fire sent by Bishop Simon (Lagov) of Kostroma and Galich to the Holy Synod six days after this disaster is also given. It is noted that the hierarchy of the diocese treated the improvement of the Kostroma Kremlin with special attention, since it was in the Kremlin that the main shrine of the Kostroma land — the miraculous Feodor icon of the Mother of God — was located.
