Gorny Monastery, Russian Orthodox monastery in Ein Kerem, Israel.

Gorny Monastery is a Russian Orthodox convent in Ein Kerem, 7 km southwest of Jerusalem's Old City. Its pale beige stone church stands on a paved terrace above a stone retaining wall, with five gold onion domes: a tall central dome on a drum with narrow windows, four corner domes and a smaller one over the left apse. The Trinity Cathedral, begun in 1910 and left unfinished for decades, was consecrated in 2007 and gilded in 2009.

The monastery was founded in 1871 when Archimandrite Antonin Kapustin acquired the land from the French consulate for the Russian Orthodox Church. This establishment marked part of a broader Russian ecclesiastical expansion in the Holy Land during the 1800s.

Orthodox nuns living here maintain Russian ecclesiastical traditions through daily prayer services and religious ceremonies. Visitors can observe how these practices shape the rhythm of daily life within the complex.

The monastery can be entered through two gates: one from the village of Ein Kerem and another near Hadassah Hospital. Walking through the grounds works best since the different levels are connected by stairs and pathways.

The large five-domed cathedral at the heart of the monastery stood unfinished for about a century and was long known as "the unfinished church". Construction began in 1910 or 1911, halted with the First World War, resumed in 1997 or 2003, and the building was consecrated in 2007; its domes were gilded in 2009. Inside, a stone said to bear the footprint of John the Baptist is displayed.
