Pechersky Ascension Monastery
Pechersky Ascension Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
The Pechersky Ascension Monastery features five-domed cathedral buildings surrounded by red defensive walls along the Volga River banks.
Saint Dionysius established the monastery in 1328 by digging caves near the Volga River, three kilometers from Nizhny Novgorod center.
The monastery functions as the principal religious center of Nizhny Novgorod Eparchy and maintains the residence of the regional Bishop.
Visitors can access the monastery grounds daily to view the Ascension Cathedral, Church of Dormition, and observe religious ceremonies.
The monastery bell tower displays a noticeable tilt and contains a pendulum clock that plays traditional Russian melodies.
