Spaso-Prilutsky Monastery, Orthodox monastery at River Vologda bank, Russia.

The Spaso-Prilutsky Monastery features a rectangular layout with four corner towers, three gates, and white walls with circus-tent striped towers.

Saint Demetrius of Priluki established the monastery in 1371 with support from Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy, leading to its role in Russian royal affairs.

The monastery represents northern Russian architecture through its five-domed Transfiguration Cathedral built in the 16th century and wooden Dormition Church from 1540.

Located 4 kilometers north of Vologda center, visitors can reach the monastery by bus numbers 22, 28, or minibus 88 from Oktyabrsky Bridge.

During the Napoleonic Wars, the monastery served as a secure storage location for treasures evacuated from other religious institutions across Russia.
