Luzhetsky Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Mozhaysk, Russia
The stone complex includes the Cathedral of the Nativity, Introduction Church, bell tower, and four circular towers within defensive walls along Moscow River.
Founded in 1408 by Therapont of White Lake, student of Sergius of Radonezh, at the request of Prince Andrei of Mozhaysk.
The cathedral features traditional five-domed Russian Orthodox architecture from 1524-1547, replacing the original stone structure that stood for a century.
Visitors can reach the monastery by taking a train from Moscow Belorussky Station to Mozhaysk, followed by local bus routes 1, 2, 5, 21, or 29.
The monastery holds the relics of Saint Therapont and contains white stone foundations with rare ancient inscriptions and crosses from medieval times.
