Alekseevsky Convent, Orthodox monastery in central Moscow, Russia

The Alekseevsky Convent complex contains two preserved churches: the Church of Alexy and the Church of All Saints with red brick and white stone details.

Founded in 1358 by Metropolitan Alexius of Kiev, the monastery relocated twice before establishing its final location in Krasnoe Selo in 1837.

The Church of All Saints features a marble iconostasis in Russian-Byzantine style, decorated by masters from the Trinity-Sergius Lavra.

After returning to the Russian Orthodox Church in the 1990s, the convent underwent extensive restoration and added a chapel for the Mother of God icon.

The monastery houses sacred relics of Saints Philaret of Moscow, Tatiana, and Seraphim of Sarov within its renovated walls.

Location: Moscow

Founders: Alexius, Metropolitan of Moscow
