Pokrovo-Tervinichesky Monastery

Pokrovo-Tervinichesky Monastery is an Orthodox convent situated on extensive grounds in Tervenichi that encompasses multiple religious buildings. A main church stands alongside two stone chapels positioned near a sacred water source.

This monastery arose in 1991 on the site of a former parish church and gained formal recognition from the Russian Orthodox Church's Holy Synod in 1997. The institution subsequently developed into an active religious center on its grounds.

The sisters living here practice their faith through daily prayers and ceremonies that visitors can observe. They engage in icon painting, handwork, and gardening, which shape the everyday rhythm of monastic life.

The monastery sits at 30 Nagornaya Street in Tervenichi and is best reached by car from the surrounding area. Lodging options are available for pilgrims and tourists who wish to stay for spiritual reflection.

At a separate location called Pirozero skete, the community maintains a revered icon known as the 'Inexhaustible Chalice'. This pilgrimage site draws visitors seeking to encounter its spiritual presence.
