Raifsky Bogoroditsky Monastery
Raifsky Bogoroditsky Monastery, Eastern Orthodox monastery in Räifä, Russia
The monastery complex contains multiple churches, including the Holy Trinity Cathedral and the Cathedral of God's Mother of Georgia along Raifskoe Lake.
Founded in 1613 by monk Philaret during the Time of Troubles, the monastery transformed from wooden structures to stone buildings after a fire in the late 1600s.
The monastery functions as a spiritual center in the Kazan Diocese, offering correspondence courses with St Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Institute and maintaining a boys' orphanage.
The Pilgrim House, established in 2008, provides accommodation for visitors, while the monastery maintains a library and fire department serving nearby communities.
During the Soviet period from 1933 to 1953, the monastery buildings served as a detention center for political prisoners before returning to religious use in 1991.
