Monastery of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, Eastern Orthodox monastery in Kaluga, Russia.
The religious complex encompasses multiple buildings arranged around a central courtyard with traditional Russian Orthodox architectural elements and bell towers.
Founded in 1870, the monastery operated continuously until its forced closure by Soviet authorities in 1924, marking the end of its initial religious activities.
The monastery maintains daily prayer services according to Orthodox traditions and celebrates the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross each September.
Located at 65 Pole Svobody Street in Kaluga, the monastery sells religious items including prayer books, candles, and Orthodox Christian literature.
The monastery includes specific architectural features that reflect the regional religious construction methods of 19th-century Kaluga Oblast.
