Belopesotsky monastery, Orthodox monastery in Stupino, Russia
The monastery complex stands along the Oka River bank, featuring white stone buildings with five domes and traditional Russian Orthodox architectural elements.
Founded in 1498 as a men's monastery, the complex served as a fortress protecting Moscow from invasions until the end of the 17th century.
The monastery houses several religious artifacts, including the venerated 'Comfort My Sorrows' icon and a sacred spring associated with Saint Sergius of Radonezh.
Visitors can reach the monastery by taking an electric train from Moscow's Paveletsky Station to Belopesetsky station, followed by a 2.4-kilometer walk.
During World War II, the monastery grounds housed the first battery of Katyusha rocket launchers, which successfully stopped Guderian's tank advance.
