Gorne-Uspensky Convent, Orthodox monastery in Vologda, Russia.

The Gorne-Uspensky Convent features stone walls with four towers surrounding multiple religious structures, including the Assumption church and winter chapel of St Sergius.

Established in 1590 by Abbess Domnikia during Czar Feodor I's reign, the convent operated until 1924 when the Red Army seized its premises.

The monastery houses a collection of religious art, including notable icons of the Assumption of the Holy Mother and Resurrection - Descent into Hell.

Located at coordinates 59.231667, 39.870556, the monastery offers guided tours and maintains regular religious services in the Assumption church since 1996.

The convent functioned as a place of exile for convicted women in the 19th century before transforming into an educational center with an orphanage.
