Pskovo-Pechersky Dormition Monastery
Pskovo-Pechersky Dormition Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Pechory, Russia
The monastery complex comprises multiple stone buildings, including the Dormition Church, Mikhailovsky Cathedral, and ancient caves carved into sandstone hills.
Founded in 1401, the monastery became a strategic fortress during the Livonian War and remained continuously operational even through the Soviet period.
The monastery maintains Russian Orthodox traditions through daily services, religious ceremonies, and the preservation of numerous holy relics of Orthodox saints.
Visitors can access the near caves and Sretensky Church throughout the day, while the Dormition Church opens exclusively during religious services.
