Bogolyubovo, the former princely residence, has now become part of the city Vladimir. It takes some fifteen minutes to get there by bus from the city centre. The extant fragments of the mansion of Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky are now part of a monastery. The tower with a winding staircase leading to the bedroom where the prince was fatally wounded is still standing. There is an icon- lamp and icons in the corner at the foot of the staircase where the wounded prince tried to hide himself.

The Bogolyubovo Monastery-cum-Convent is the only example of church democracy, so to speak, with regard to the sexes, for both monks and nuns live on its premises. Its main sacred object is, as before, the icon of Our Lady of Bogolyubovo painted from the words of Prince Andrei. Of course, it is a later copy, for the original is kept at the Suzdal Museum. This is a miracle-working icon all hung with gold chains, rings, earrings and other jewelry left by parishioners.
