Uleima Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Ulejma, Russia
The Uleima Monastery stands along the Uleima River near Uglich, featuring a five-domed katholikon and traditional Orthodox architectural elements within stone fortification walls.
Founded in 1406 by a monk from Rostov, the monastery received an icon of St Nicholas from Bari, Italy, establishing its status as a religious center.
The monastery represents one of the remaining centers of Old Believers in Russia, maintaining traditional Orthodox practices and religious ceremonies dating back centuries.
Located at coordinates 57.4425, 38.408333, the monastery requires advance planning for visits due to its isolated location and limited public transportation options.
The Naryshkin family presented relics of St Nicholas to the monastery in 1720, after Peter the Great brought them from abroad to Russia.
