The Monastery of New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church is a male monastery near Alapaevsk close to the city of Rezh. The grounds feature a bright red main church with a golden dome, additional religious buildings, a memorial cross at an old mine shaft, and well-maintained paths with trees and gardens surrounding the structures.
The monastery was established in the 1990s after the Soviet period ended and commemorates church martyrs who died in a nearby mine shaft in 1918. The red church was consecrated in 2001 and a second temple in 2018, reflecting the renewal of religious life in the region after decades of suppression.
The site honors martyrs of the Russian Church through prayer services and commemorations that draw people from the surrounding region. The daily rhythm of worship here connects visitors to traditions that remain central to local Orthodox life.
The site opens early in the morning and remains accessible until evening, with the bright red church easily visible from the approach. Visitors should wear respectful clothing and observe quiet during prayer services to avoid disturbing those at worship.
A memorial cross marks an old mine shaft where members of the royal family died in 1918, making this location a focal point for remembrance of that tragic event. Many visitors come to this place not only to pray but also to honor those who suffered during that dark period.
