Ipatiev Monastery, Orthodox monastery at the confluence of Volga and Kostroma rivers in Kostroma, Russia.
The Ipatiev Monastery consists of stone walls, towers, and multiple domed cathedrals along the Kostroma riverbank opposite the city center.
In March 1613, the monastery became the site where Moscow delegates offered Mikhail Romanov the Russian throne, establishing the Romanov dynasty.
The Trinity Cathedral houses extensive religious frescoes, while the monastery museum displays manuscripts, including the significant Ipatievsky Chronicles.
The monastery complex contains several buildings open for visits, including the Trinity Cathedral, a bell tower, and the 16th-century Romanov Palace.
The monastery preserves the Fyodorovskaya icon of the Mother of God, which served as a protective symbol for the Romanov family.
