Located in the town of Kashin Cowl Nicholas Monastery has always been famous for its majestic stone temples. The chief of the cathedrals - the temple in honor of the Holy Trinity, which had consecrated in the name of St. Nicholas chapel. This temple was built in the second half of the 17th century, but today this structure remained only ruins. The second temple was built in 1851, after which it was consecrated in honor of the Apostles Peter and Paul. Today the cathedral is only a half-destroyed walls and the roof. Third Cathedral - the church of St. Alexius, who in his time was the Metropolitan of Moscow. That the church is central to the value of the whole complex Klobukova Nicholas Monastery.

Alexis temple is located in the south-east side of the Nikolaev monastery and increasingly attracts attention. The construction of the church took place on the allocation of funds Zhdanovs rich merchants in the period between 1851 and 1854. Temple has a rather massive dimensions and a large central volume, which at one time was important for the entire monastery. Staging such an impressive volume in the past, it identified the diagonal axis of the complex, that a great way not only consolidated the line of Eastern, but also Western facades Alekseevskogo temple. As for the appearance of the temple, as well as its silhouette, they are especially similar to the proportion of the Holy Trinity Cathedral. After the church was completely lost octagon church of the Moscow Metropolitan Alexy has come to occupy a central place among the other buildings Klobukova monastery.

In the matter of stylistic component Alexis church is important to note that it is also increasingly resembles the Trinity Gate Church, which was in force at the famous Sretensky Monastery .  The only difference was in the fact that the temple had a strict classical forms characteristic geometrism, while in facades perfectly expressed some coldness and stiffness, which belonged to the late Classical style .  Alexis is the epicenter of the church in the form of a cube with a quadrangular developed a powerful drum positioned vertically and surround the spherical dome .  The eastern and western sides of the central portion supplemented understated parallelepipeds given protruding altar and fairly roomy, and even a large dining room bathroom .  Both represented part of the composition is transferred to the horizontal length of some and bring the volume to the classic shape of the building structure, is usually characteristic wooden churches .

The surfaces of the walls of the temple are made perfectly smooth; They are decorated using white stone Sandrikov equipped with brackets. Pilaster portico altar made flattened and merged with the plane of the facade. A pair of four-column portico with unusual gables in the past belonged to the quadrangle, but so far from them there were only two columns. Unusual for the time characteristic design freedom for the colony capitals, making them unique in their own way. Along the edges of the small Ionic volutes stretches of white stone slab or abaca, which is somewhat uncoordinated with Ehin and Doric Fust. Funny submitted design brings the principle used in the construction - to adapt the material directly under, even by departing from the traditional canons.

From the west to the borders Alekseevskii temple built in 1903. The chapel, which in the past was covered using tetrahedral tent. The chapel served as the sheath extending over constructed of wood keley - here lived St. Macarius. The decoration of the facade is especially close to the style of "patterns the" characteristic of the 17th century. Casings are made of plastered brick, as well as belts and pilasters, which gives even more difficult and rough appearance.

Today Alekseevskaya Klobukova church of the monastery is acting, presenting a true monument of architecture.
