Old Golutvin Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Kolomna, Russia.

The Old Golutvin Monastery stands near where the Moskva meets the Oka on the edge of Kolomna. Its white-walled buildings include the early 18th-century Epiphany Cathedral with a gold onion dome, the Sergius of Radonezh Church, a tall bell tower with a church on its second tier, and walls with pseudo-Gothic towers built to a design by F. M. Kazakov at the end of the 18th century.

The monastery was founded in 1385 and initially served as a defensive outpost for the region. It later became an important center for religious education and spiritual practice within Eastern Orthodoxy.

The name Golutvin likely comes from "golutva", a clearing cut in the forest where the monastery was founded; a 1778 account instead linked it to bands of robbers. Since 1994 services have resumed, and from 1995 to 2012 the Kolomna Orthodox Theological Seminary occupied part of the complex. The monastery holds the staff of St Sergius of Radonezh, kept there until its closure in 1929.

The grounds are open from early morning through evening, allowing visitors to attend daily services in the main cathedral. Guided tours are available to help explore the various buildings and understand their religious significance.

By tradition, Sergius of Radonezh struck his staff into the ground to show the monks where to dig a well, and a spring broke out there. It served the monastery until the first half of the 20th century, when the authorities filled it in with rubble after the closure.
