Monastery of the Theotokos of Iveron
Monastery of the Theotokos of Iveron, Orthodox monastery in Samara, Russia
The religious complex contains multiple stone structures with distinctive cupolas and crosses situated along the Volga River embankment.
Founded in 1850 with 38 sisters, the monastery expanded to include a church, hospital, and orphanage before its closure during the 1919 revolution.
The monastery maintains workshops for traditional religious crafts including icon painting and gold embroidery, continuing centuries-old Orthodox practices.
Visitors can attend daily services in the main cathedral, explore the grounds between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM, and purchase items from the monastery shop.
The monastery houses the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God, donated by merchant Ekaterina Marihina, which survived the Soviet period intact.
