St. Vladimir Monastery at the source of the Dnieper

St. Vladimir Monastery at the source of the Dnieper, Orthodox monastery at the source of Dnieper River in Bekhteevo, Russia.

The monastery complex contains wooden structures including a cathedral, bell tower, dormitories, and guest accommodations near the Dnieper River headwaters.

The construction of St. Vladimir Monastery began in 2010 as part of the Slavic Springs program, focusing on river sources in the Valdai Hills.

The monastery maintains Russian Orthodox traditions through regular religious services, community events, and spiritual guidance under the leadership of Abbot Timothy.

Visitors can reach the monastery by contacting +7 920 885 10 75 or sv.vladimir_monastir@mail.ru to arrange accommodations and participate in daily services.

The monastery stands at the geographical point where Europe's fourth-longest river, the Dnieper, begins its 2,200-kilometer journey to the Black Sea.
