Monastery of Holy Trinity, Orthodox monastery in Shenkursk, Russia.

The Monastery of Holy Trinity in Shenkursk was founded in 1664 on the site of the parish Yekaterininskaya and Trinity churches, where elderly poor women known as Yekaterininskaya staritsy lived. Its main church, a huge stone cross-shaped building, was laid on 1 November 1853 and took over 12 years to complete. The monastery is currently inactive.

The monastery was founded in 1664 and served as a religious center for the region. In 1923, Soviet authorities closed it as part of a nationwide campaign against religious institutions.

The monastery kept a venerated icon of the Mother of God of the Three Hands; on its feast day and at Trinity, a cross procession circled the monastery, and on 25 July one went to the Makaryevskaya Hermitage. A guesthouse and icon-painting, gold-embroidery and needlework workshops operated here, and the nuns mainly tended livestock and worked the land.

The site can be reached on foot from central Shenkursk and sits along a quiet part of the riverbank. Visiting during warmer months is advisable, as pathways are easier to walk and the area is more accessible.

The monastery held the venerated Three-Handed Icon of the Mother of God. On its feast day and at Trinity, a cross procession circled the monastery; on 25 July another went to the Makaryev Hermitage, 16 versts away. The monastery also ran an inn and icon-painting, gold-embroidery and needlework workshops.
