Alexeevo-Akatov Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Voronezh, Russia

The Alexeevo-Akatov Monastery stands on the steep right bank of the Voronezh River, featuring white walls and golden domes against the city skyline.

Founded in 1620 as gratitude for protecting the city from Lithuanian raids, the monastery includes the first stone church built in Voronezh in 1674.

The monastery functions as a religious center where Orthodox services take place daily, maintaining centuries-old Russian liturgical traditions and ceremonies.

Visitors can access the monastery grounds without entrance fees and schedule guided tours through the pilgrimage department of the Voronezh Diocese.

The monastery houses the remains of Archbishop Peter, who was transferred from Solovki in 2009, and contains the oldest stone structure in Voronezh.
