Valday Iversky Monastery
Valday Iversky Monastery, Orthodox monastery on Selvitsky Island, Valday Lake, Russia
The monastery complex includes the Assumption Cathedral, Refectory Church of Epiphany, Church Gate of Michael Archangel, and multiple living quarters surrounded by stone walls.
Patriarch Nikon established the monastery in 1653 with the support of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, constructing two wooden churches during the first phase of development.
The monastery housed one of Russia's first printing presses in 1655, brought by Belarusian monks who established significant bookbinding and publishing operations.
The monastery operates daily services in the Assumption Cathedral, where visitors can view a replica of the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God.
The complex served multiple functions through centuries, including as a museum, veterans' home, and tuberculosis school before returning to religious service in 1991.
