Pokrovsky Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Suzdal, Russia
The monastery complex includes the three-domed Intercession Cathedral, a bell tower, and defensive walls with towers along the Kamenka River bank.
Prince Andrei Konstantinovich established the monastery in 1364 as a gesture of gratitude after surviving a dangerous military campaign.
The monastery served as a confinement location for Russian noble women, including Solomonia Saburova, the first wife of Vasily III in 1525.
The monastery opens daily from 11:00 to 16:00, offering guided tours through its grounds, churches, and museum exhibitions at Pokrovskaya Street 76.
The underground chamber beneath the Intercession Cathedral contains the burial vault of Russian aristocratic women who lived in the monastery.
