Athanasyevsky monastery, Orthodox monastery in Mologa, Russia

The Athanasyevsky Monastery stands along the banks of the Volga River with four churches within its grounds and stone walls surrounding the complex.

Founded in the 15th century, this religious institution remained active until 1930 when Soviet authorities officially dissolved and closed the monastery.

The monastery functioned as a center of Eastern Orthodox teachings where monks conducted religious services, maintained manuscripts, and educated the local population.

The geographical coordinates of 58.1833 latitude and 38.4333 longitude mark the location where the monastery stood before the area was submerged.

The entire monastery complex now lies underwater, submerged by the creation of the Rybinsk Reservoir in 1941 during Soviet industrialization projects.
