Kandalaksha Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Kandalaksha, Russia
The monastery stands at Monastyrsky Navolok where the Niva River meets the White Sea, marking the beginning of Kandalaksha's settlement development.
Founded in 1548 near the Church of St John the Baptist, the monastery received land grants from Ivan the Terrible and functioned until its closure in 1742.
The monastery site includes foundations and a cemetery that commemorates regional conflicts, representing centuries of Orthodox Christian presence in the Russian North.
The monastery location connects to hiking trails and provides access to the Kandalaksha State Nature Reserve, which protects local wildlife and forests.
This religious complex served as a primary landowner of the Kola Peninsula alongside the Solovetsky Monastery during the 16th century.
