Novo-Golutvin Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Kolomna, Russia.
The Novo-Golutvin Monastery is an Orthodox monastic complex in Kolomna featuring traditional Russian ecclesiastical architecture. The site includes the Trinity Cathedral and a four-tiered bell tower that dominate the grounds.
The monastery was founded in 1801 on land formerly occupied by an archbishop's residence, with monks transferred from the nearby Golutvin Monastery giving it its name. This connection to the older monastery shaped its early development.
The monastery is an active center for Orthodox worship, where visitors can observe religious ceremonies and the daily rhythm of monastic life. The resident nuns give the place its living spiritual character.
The monastery is located on Ulitsa Lazareva in central Kolomna and is accessible on foot. Visitors should dress modestly as this is an active place of worship with customary dress expectations.
The monastery is home to more than 90 nuns who operate a small farm alongside their spiritual duties. The farm includes rare dog breeds and a camel that was gifted by the first female cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova.
