Novgorod Theological Seminary
Novgorod Theological Seminary, Religious seminary in Veliky Novgorod, Russia
The Novgorod Theological Seminary occupies a substantial building within the Antoniev Monastery complex, featuring traditional Russian architectural elements and educational facilities.
Metropolitan Job of Novgorod established the institution in 1706 as a Greek-Slavonic school, with Greek scholars Joannicius and Sophronius Likhud serving as initial instructors.
The seminary maintains one of Russia's oldest theological libraries, containing an extensive collection of religious texts dating from the transfer of Theophan Prokopovich's collection.
The seminary building stands as a federal cultural heritage site, requiring visitors to obtain permission for entry through the Antoniev Monastery administration office.
The institution received exceptional funding of 7,859 rubles annually during its early years, marking it as the most financially supported seminary in 18th-century Russia.
