Ugresha Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Dzerzhinsky, Russia
The monastery complex includes the Cathedral of the Transfiguration, Saint Nicholas Cathedral, and the Church of Matthew the Apostle on its spacious grounds.
Prince Dmitry Donskoy established the monastery in 1301 following the appearance of an icon of Saint Nicholas before the Battle of Kulikovo.
The monastery maintains regular religious services, Orthodox traditions, and spiritual education through its seminary, which prepares future Russian Orthodox priests.
The monastery provides accommodation facilities for pilgrims, guided tours of the architectural complex, and opportunities to attend daily prayer services.
During the 17th century, three patriarchs from Alexandria, Antioch, and Moscow gathered simultaneously at the monastery for religious ceremonies.
