Borisoglebsky Monastery, Monastery in Torzhok, Russia
The Borisoglebsky Monastery stands on the banks of the Tvertsa River, featuring stone buildings and multiple churches within its walled complex.
Founded in 1038 by Efrem Nowotorski, the monastery predates the famous Kiev Pechersk Lavra and survived numerous invasions throughout Russian history.
The monastery celebrates Saints Boris and Gleb, the first Russian martyrs, through religious ceremonies and maintains traditional Orthodox Christian practices.
Visitors can join guided tours of the monastery grounds, which include access to the main cathedral, bell tower, and various historical structures.
The monastery's 1860 candle tower served both as a candle production facility and a weather observation point where monks recorded meteorological data.
