Korennaja pustyn', Orthodox monastery in Kursk Oblast, Russia
The religious complex includes several buildings with white facades, golden domes, and Orthodox crosses positioned along the banks of the Tuskar River.
Founded in 1597 by order of Tsar Feodor Ivanovich, the monastery marks the location where hunters discovered the miraculous Icon of the Sign in 1295.
The monastery maintains Orthodox traditions through daily services, religious ceremonies, and hosts the annual procession of the Kursk Root Icon of the Mother of God.
Visitors can access the monastery complex via regular bus services from Kursk city, with accommodation options available in the nearby settlement of Svoboda.
The monastery's architectural ensemble includes a distinctive 60-meter staircase descending to a spring where the sacred icon was originally discovered.
