New Valamo, Orthodox monastery in Heinävesi, Finland
The monastery complex includes the Transfiguration Cathedral, constructed in 1977, along with several residential buildings and a cultural center on Lake Joujarvi.
The monastery relocated to Heinävesi in 1940 when 190 monks evacuated from the original Valamo Monastery during the Winter War with Soviet forces.
The monastery maintains Orthodox religious traditions through daily services, theological education programs, and exhibitions of religious artifacts including miracle-working icons.
Visitors can stay in the monastery's guest accommodations, attend guided tours, purchase items at the Tuohus shop, and dine at the Trapesa restaurant.
The monastery operates Finland's largest distillery, producing 120,000 liters of beverages annually using traditional monastic recipes passed through generations.
