Ioanno-Kormyansky Monastery

The Ioanno-Kormyansky Monastery is an Orthodox nunnery in Karma with white walls, golden domes, and a church dedicated to the Protection of the Virgin Mary. The site contains multiple buildings arranged around a central courtyard where the main church and living quarters are located.

The monastery was established as a religious institution in the Gomel Region and developed over time as a center for monastic life. It later received official cultural heritage protection status from Belarusian authorities.

This is an active community of nuns who maintain Orthodox Christian practices through daily worship and religious life. The women living here shape the rhythm of the monastery through their constant spiritual dedication.

The monastery is located in Karma in Dobruš District and welcomes visitors to walk the grounds and observe the site. Early morning visits offer the best experience since this is when daily prayers and religious services take place.

The monastery church holds religious artifacts and historical documents that show how Christianity developed in this region. These items offer visitors a glimpse into centuries of spiritual community life in eastern Belarus.
