Kirillo-Novoezersky Monastery, 16th-century Russian Orthodox monastery in Belozersky District, Russia
The monastery complex spans across 20 hectares on Lake Siverskoye, featuring eleven churches and substantial fortification walls measuring 732 meters in length.
Saint Cyril of Belozero established the monastery in 1517, initially constructing a wooden Assumption chapel and basic living quarters for the monastic community.
The monastery houses numerous religious artifacts, including a 17th-century iconostasis in the Assumption Cathedral containing ancient icons from Tsar Alexis.
The Kirillo-Belozersky Museum of History, Art, and Architecture occupies a major section of the monastery, displaying exhibitions across 6,530 square meters.
The monastery maintains dual functions as both an active religious institution since 1998 and a federal museum complex preserving Russian Orthodox heritage.
