Nicander hermitage, Orthodox monastery in Porkhovsky District, Russia
The monastery complex includes stone churches, multiple holy springs, and spiritual buildings spread across the rural landscape near the Demyanka River.
Founded in 1584 at the location where Saint Nicander spent fifty years in prayer, the monastery received tax exemption from Tsar Feodor I in 1598.
The monastery maintains Orthodox Christian traditions through religious services, annual processions to Porkhov, and spiritual guidance for visiting pilgrims.
Located 37 kilometers from Porkhov and 70 kilometers northeast of Pskov, the monastery features accommodation facilities for religious travelers and pilgrims.
The monastery grounds contain four sacred springs dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, Alexander Svirsky, Nicander, and the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God.
