Sanaksar monastery, Orthodox monastery in Temnikov, Russia
The monastery stands near the Moksha River, surrounded by dense forests and wetlands, featuring five golden domes and an iron-covered roof.
Founded in 1659 during the reign of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, the monastery received permission to build its first church from Patriarch Joasaph II in 1669.
The monastery houses important religious artifacts, including the Kazan Mother of God icon and the icons of Theodore of Sanaksar and Alexander the Confessor.
A pilgrims' hotel within the monastery grounds provides accommodation for visitors, with clear rules regarding donations and religious services.
The monastery contains a natural spring, dedicated to Saint Theodore of Sanaksar, which ranks among the most visited water sources in Mordovia.
