Lesna monastery, Orthodox monastery in Chauvincourt-Provemont, France.
The Lesna monastery stands on a 30-acre property with gardens, beehives, and chicken coops that support the religious community's daily activities.
Following World War I in 1915, the monastery relocated from Byelorussia to Belgrade, then Romania, and finally settled in France during 1950.
The monastery maintains Orthodox traditions through daily liturgical services conducted in Church Slavonic, including morning prayers, vespers, matins, and evening compline.
The monastery operates under the jurisdiction of the Russian True-Orthodox Church, with Archbishop Tikhon of Omsk and Siberia providing leadership guidance.
The monastery separated from the Russian Church Abroad in 2007 due to the latter's decision to enter communion with the Moscow Patriarchate.
