Nikolo-Terebensky Monastery

Nikolo-Terebensky Monastery is an Orthodox religious complex in Maksatikhinsky District, Tver Oblast, comprising multiple buildings spread across the rural grounds of Trużenik village. The site features churches, auxiliary structures, and residential quarters arranged across the landscape.

The monastery gained importance in the late 17th century when Patriarch Adrian selected it as his summer residence and launched major construction work. Growth continued into the 18th century with the establishment of educational facilities that expanded its influence across the region.

The monastery draws worshippers who attend regular Orthodox services and shapes religious life across the surrounding communities. Visitors experience how the place remains woven into local spiritual traditions and daily practices.

The monastery is accessible by regional roads connecting Maksatikhinsky District with other parts of Tver Oblast. Access from the village requires walking along rural paths, so visitors should prepare for outdoor terrain.

The monastery established a theological seminary on its grounds in 1775, significantly expanding its educational mission. This institution shaped generations of clergy and turned the place into a center of learning for the broader region.
