Zverin Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Veliky Novgorod, Russia
The Zverin Monastery stands on the left bank of the Volkhov River, featuring multiple churches and religious structures within its walled complex.
Established in 1148, the monastery contains the Church of Saint Simeon from 1467, which preserves original frescoes from the 15th century.
The monastery forms part of the Historic Monuments of Novgorod UNESCO World Heritage site, representing centuries of Russian Orthodox architectural development.
Visitors can find the monastery north of the Kremlin, where it currently functions as a seminary for the Novgorod eparchy.
The name derives from Zverinets, a wooded area mentioned in chronicles from 1069, predating the monastery's construction by several decades.
