Богородице-Тихоновский женский монастырь, Orthodox monastery in Tyunino, Russia
Bogarodice-Tikhonovsky Women's Monastery is an Orthodox convent in the Lipetsk region with a five-domed stone church dedicated to the Ascension of the Lord. The church includes two side chapels and residential buildings that house the religious community.
The monastery was founded in 1867 when the first church was built, establishing a spiritual center in the Lipetsk region. Over time it became an important place for Orthodox religious practice and community life.
The monastery maintains traditional Russian Orthodox practices, with sisters engaged in continuous reading of the Psalter and regular religious processions.
The site is best explored on foot, so be prepared for hilly terrain and possibly unpaved paths. Since the monastery sits in a rural area, planning your visit ahead is wise.
The community operates a working farm with cattle and poultry to sustain itself economically. This self-sufficient approach allows the sisters to maintain their spiritual life away from outside commercial pressures.
