Khosheutovsky khurul, Buddhist monastery in Rechnoye, Russia

Located in the Kharabalinsky District of Astrakhan Oblast, Khoshutovskiy khurul presents a combination of Russian classical and traditional Kalmyk architectural designs.

The monastery was constructed between 1817 and 1818 by Serebdzhab Tyumen to commemorate the Russian victory in the Patriotic War of 1812 against French forces.

The structure incorporates elements from the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and features architectural influences from the Kazan Cathedral in Saint Petersburg.

The monastery maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours that explain the historical significance and architectural features of this federal cultural heritage site.

This monastery stands as the single remaining example of pre-revolutionary Kalmyk Buddhist temples in Russia, with its original layout resembling a bow and arrow.
