Holy Trinity Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Jordanville, United States
The Holy Trinity Monastery is an Orthodox religious community spread across rural grounds in Jordanville, upstate New York. The complex contains multiple church buildings, a seminary for theological training, a cemetery, and surrounding farmland.
Russian immigrants founded this religious community in 1929, first constructing wooden buildings for worship and living space. A major fire in 1935 destroyed much of the initial construction, which was then rebuilt in more permanent materials.
The monastery preserves Eastern Orthodox traditions through daily liturgical services and religious education that visitors can observe firsthand. The spiritual practices here reflect how Russian Orthodox communities maintained their faith across generations in America.
The monastery welcomes visitors to attend daily prayer services and walk through the cemetery where notable Orthodox figures are buried. The on-site bookstore offers religious texts and items for purchase.
The monastery operated one of North America's largest Orthodox publishing houses, producing religious books and materials for Russian Orthodox communities. This printing operation became a vital resource for preserving and spreading Orthodox literature across the continent.
