Voznesensky Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Smolensk, Russia.
The Voznesensky Monastery stands with its five domes near the center of Smolensk, displaying traditional Russian Orthodox architectural elements and religious symbols.
Founded in 1630 under Michael I of Russia, the monastery served as a residence for noble women and underwent substantial renovations after the fire of 1721.
The monastery maintains Orthodox Christian traditions through regular religious services, ceremonies, and community gatherings that connect local residents with their religious heritage.
Visitors can access the monastery grounds daily, with guided tours available to explore the religious buildings, gardens, and historical structures within the complex.
The monastery holds a collection of relocated religious artifacts from the Patriotic War of 1812, when items were moved to protect them from destruction.
