Add to collection Suggest a change

Nikolo-Solbinsky Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Sólba, Russia.

Located in the Yaroslavl region, the white stone Nikolo-Solbinsky Monastery features five domes and traditional Russian Orthodox architectural elements throughout its complex.

Founded by St. Euphemius, the monastery faced destruction by Swedish forces in 1419 and underwent restoration in 1471 following the recovery of Marfa Boretskaya's sons.

The monastery functions as a female religious institution where nuns maintain Russian Orthodox traditions through religious ceremonies, prayers, and community engagement.

The monastery welcomes visitors daily, offering guided tours of the grounds, including the main cathedral dedicated to St. Nicholas and surrounding religious buildings.

British sailors from Richard Chancellor's ship documented their visit to the monastery in 1553, noting its connection to maritime practices through St. Nicholas patronage.
