Monastery of Panagia of Goumenissa, Greek Orthodox monastery in Goumenissa, Greece
The Monastery of Panagia features post-Byzantine architecture with interior walls adorned by detailed religious paintings and traditional Orthodox iconography.
Records from 1346 indicate the monastery's transfer to the Monastery of Iveron on Mount Athos, marking a significant change in its administration.
The monastery holds ceremonies four times annually to honor its miraculous icon, including celebrations during Ypapantis and the feast of Assumption.
Located 69 kilometers northwest of Thessaloniki at an elevation of 140 meters, the monastery maintains regular visiting hours for religious services.
The establishment of this monastery preceded and influenced the foundation of Goumenissa town, which developed around this religious center.
