Яранский Вознесенский монастырь, Orthodox monastery in Yaransk, Russia

The Yaransky Ascension Monastery was a male monastery on Krasnaya Gorka (Red Hill) in Yaransk, Kirov Oblast. Its territory now holds the City Garden and the women's Annunciation Monastery, where the stone Annunciation Church, first mentioned in 1652, still stands. In 1742 the monastery had three churches: a wooden Ascension Cathedral with an Elijah the Prophet side chapel, and the stone Archangel and Annunciation churches linked to a bell tower between them.

First mentioned in 1652, the monastery stood on Krasnaya Gorka and by 1678 held 32 households of serfs. In 1742 it had three churches, including the stone Annunciation Church and the Archangel Church linked to a bell tower. It was abolished in the staffing cuts of 1764, when it had 236 serfs; from the early 18th century its abbot also served as Yaransk protopope.

The monastery gave its name to the old Yaransk cemetery that replaced it, and the stone Annunciation Church became a parish church. Since 17 December 2014 the site has housed a revived women's monastery, also called Annunciation, whose five nuns were presented that day.

The former monastery grounds on Red Hill are now occupied by the City Garden and the women's Annunciation Monastery, which visitors enter through the Annunciation Church, first mentioned in 1652. The wooden Ascension church was dismantled in 1781 and the bell tower and church nearer the Yaran River were taken down on 5 June 1891, so look for the surviving stone church rather than the original ensemble.

The Ascension church itself was lost: the Yaran river undermined the bank, and on 5 June 1891 the bell tower and the church nearest the water were dismantled. The bricks went into the new Alexander Nevsky church.
