Klopsky monastery

Klopsky Monastery is a monastery complex in Novgorodsky District consisting of multiple interconnected buildings arranged around the Trinity Cathedral as its primary structure. The site includes additional churches, residential quarters, and protective walls that define the layout of the religious community.

The monastery was founded in the 15th century and grew in prominence under Michael Klopsky, who led the community for approximately four decades beginning in the early 1400s. This period of leadership shaped the monastery's development and its role in regional spiritual life.

The monastery remains a place of living Orthodox practice where regular services fill the churches with chanting and candlelight. Visitors can observe how believers participate in these traditions, making the spiritual continuity visible in daily worship.

The monastery grounds are open to visitors year-round, and you can explore at your own pace or join a guided tour for more detailed information. It is helpful to check ahead about which buildings are accessible on your specific visit date.

Michael Klopsky earned a reputation for making prophecies about major events in Russian history, giving the monastery additional spiritual prestige in the region. His visions attracted the attention of powerful figures who sought his counsel.
