Елецкий Троицкий монастырь, Orthodox monastery in Yelets, Russia.

Eletsk Trinity Monastery is a monastic complex in Yelets featuring white stone churches arranged around a walled courtyard. The site contains multiple chapels, residential quarters for monks, and a prominent bell tower built in traditional Russian style.

The monastery was founded in 1501 on Koshkina Hill and became an important religious center for the region. Following a major fire in 1769, the complex was rebuilt completely and maintained its spiritual role ever since.

The monastery serves as a living center for Orthodox worship, where visitors can observe the daily rhythm of monastic prayer and religious celebrations. Pilgrims arrive to participate in services and experience Russian Orthodox faith in practice.

Visitors can enter the monastery grounds through the main gate and explore the complex during daylight hours. Morning and evening services offer opportunities to experience the religious life of the community firsthand.

Two elderly nuns maintained their prayers even after a devastating fire in 1769 destroyed most of the complex. Their devotion inspired the community to rebuild the entire site and leave a powerful testimony to faith.
