Lauryshava Monastery, Eastern Orthodox monastery in Ščorsaŭski Sieĺsaviet, Belarus.
The monastery complex consists of two stone churches and several monastic buildings situated along the Nioman River in northern Belarus.
Prince Vaišvilkas established Lauryshava Monastery in the 1260s, marking a period of religious expansion in the medieval Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
The Lauryshava gospel, written in 1329, represents an important manuscript demonstrating the monastery's role in medieval Belarusian literature.
The monastery grounds remain open for religious services and guided visits, with regular archaeological excavations taking place at the original site.
The monastery survived a devastating Tatar attack in 1530 that resulted in the death of all resident monks, leading to multiple cycles of reconstruction.
