Transfiguration Monastery, Staraya Russa
Transfiguration Monastery, Staraya Russa, Orthodox monastery in Staraya Russa, Russia
The Transfiguration Monastery rises on the right bank of the Polist River, featuring stone walls, towers, and multiple churches with traditional Russian domes.
Founded in 1192 by Martiry Rushanin, the monastery started with a wooden church that was later replaced by a stone structure in 1198.
