Pechenga, Military settlement in Murmansk Oblast, Russia
Located at the intersection of the Pechenga River and Barents Sea, this settlement stretches across northern terrain at 69 degrees latitude and 31 degrees longitude.
The settlement originated in 1533 when Saint Tryphon of Novgorod established the Pechenga Monastery, which later endured destruction during a Swedish raid in 1583.
The Pechenga region represents a meeting point of Russian Orthodox traditions with earlier Sami and Kven communities who inhabited the northern territories.
The settlement maintains transportation connections through its railway station and serves as the administrative center of the Pechengsky District in Murmansk Oblast.
The discovery of nickel deposits in 1921 transformed this religious settlement into an industrial center, leading to commercial mining operations from 1935 onward.
