Kelya of Saint Pavel of Taganrog, Religious residence in Taganrog, Russia.

The Kelya on Turgenevsky Street 82 is a residential dwelling of an Orthodox saint containing original furnishings from his era, including furniture, icons, and pottery. The building demonstrates the simple and withdrawn manner of life lived within these walls.

Pavel of Taganrog settled in this house after years of wandering and lived there until his death in 1879. After his death, his admirer Baroness Elizaveta Taube bought the kelya and the courtyard and gave them to his disciples. In the 1990s the transfer of the house to the Russian Orthodox Church began; in 2014 it was bought and registered as property of the Saint Nicholas Church, and restoration followed under protoiereus Alexei Lysikov. Pavel was glorified for church-wide veneration in 2016.

The residence draws pilgrims who come to connect with Orthodox spiritual traditions and observe prayer practices in the spaces where Saint Pavel lived. Visitors can see how daily life unfolded here through the arrangement of rooms and objects.

The kelya stands at Turgenevsky Lane 82, a short walk from Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker Church, where the saint's relics are kept. Prayers are served in the kelya daily. A refectory for pilgrims and a covered gallery stand in the paved courtyard, whose centre holds a bronze relief-icon of Saint Pavel by sculptor Irina Shtoda.

In the courtyard stands an old draw well, which believers hold to have been sanctified by John of Kronstadt. The house itself has never been renovated, so its walls, icons, earthenware, tables and benches date from the saint's era. Pilgrims also seek out the bench where Pavel rested and lie on it, hoping for healing through his prayers.
