Uspienski Monastery in Orša, Orthodox monastery in Orsha, Belarus.

The Uspienski Monastery stands near the Dnieper River, featuring traditional Belarusian religious architecture with remaining structures from different construction periods.

Established in 1631 following Patriarch Theophanes III's approval, the monastery included an Epiphany Cathedral built in 1635 and the Church of the Holy Spirit.
