Старообрядческий богословский институт

The Old Believers Theological Institute occupies a three-story building with traditional Russian architectural elements within the Rogozhskaya Old Believers Community complex.

The institute, established in 1911, emerged as an educational center for Old Believers who separated from the Russian Orthodox Church following the 17th-century reforms.

Students at the institute study theological texts, participate in religious services, and learn traditional liturgical practices specific to Old Believer communities.

The institute offers specialized programs in pastoral preparation, allowing students to become readers and priests through comprehensive theological education.

The institute maintains a collection of pre-reformation religious manuscripts and texts that document the unchanged practices of Russian Orthodox Christianity.
