Orthodox Monastery of the Dormition in Wojnowo

The monastery complex features wooden structures, traditional Orthodox architectural elements, and a church dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of God.

Russian Old Believers established the monastery in the early 19th century after separating from the Russian Orthodox Church due to reforms by Patriarch Nikon.

The monastery holds regular liturgical services with traditional Orthodox chants, prayers, and scripture readings conducted by resident sisters.

The monastery maintains regular visiting hours for tourists, requiring modest dress code and respectful behavior during religious ceremonies and explorations.

An oil lamp burns continuously in the church while sisters offer prayers for the global community through services and personal devotions.
