Snetogorsky Monastery, Pskov, Orthodox monastery in Pskov, Russia.

Snetogorsky Monastery is an Orthodox monastery in Pskov featuring a cathedral dedicated to the Nativity of the Mother of God at its center. The complex consists of several buildings with white stone walls and traditional domed architecture that form the religious center.

The monastery is first mentioned in a Pskov chronicle in 1299, when Livonian knights burned the already existing monastery and killed its abbot, the monk Joasaph, and 17 monks. Tradition names Joasaph as founder. In the 14th and 15th centuries it became Pskov's main monastic center, and in 1472 Sophia Palaiologina stayed here on her journey from Italy to Moscow.

The monastery displays features of the Pskov School of Architecture, which blends local building methods with Byzantine religious design elements. Visitors can observe this fusion in the white stone walls and traditional domes that shape the appearance of the complex.

The monastery is located north of Pskov and can be reached by public transportation. Visitors should be prepared to walk across the grounds to explore all buildings and details of the complex.

The 14th-century frescoes are inside the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Mother of God, not on the outer walls; a fire after the 1581–1582 siege by Stefan Batory's troops damaged the painting. In 1476 the monastery received one of Russia's earliest tower clocks, the third known after Moscow (1404) and Novgorod (1436).
