Convent of Saint Elisabeth, Orthodox monastery in Minsk, Belarus
The Convent of Saint Elisabeth is a religious complex in northeastern Minsk that contains several churches, workshops, and residential buildings. The compound serves multiple functions, including housing and support services for people in need of temporary care.
The convent was established in 1999 and grew from a sisterhood founded in 1996 inspired by Saint Elisabeth Romanova's commitment to helping others. This foundation shaped the community's focus on charitable work and service to those in need.
The convent is a working community where sisters create religious items and ceramics in workshops that visitors can observe during their visit. This handwork forms the foundation of daily life and gives the place its particular character.
Visitors can explore the workshops and purchase handmade products on site, with items also sold in shops across Belarus. Plan time to walk through the different buildings at a relaxed pace and take in the layout of the complex.
The convent provides shelter and recovery facilities for people in difficult circumstances, part of its broader mission to support vulnerable individuals. This hands-on care extends the community's charitable work beyond craftsmanship into direct social service.
