Intercession monastery, Klimovo, Orthodox monastery in Klimovsky District, Russia.

The Intercession Monastery stands in the centre of Pokrovskoye village, Klimovsky District, on a hilly bank of the Dozhogalka River. Its surviving buildings are the stone Intercession Cathedral and the warm St Nicholas Church, enclosed by a three-metre brick wall. The complex is a regional cultural heritage site.

Founded in 1765 by Old Believers resettled to Starodubye after the destruction of their centre at Vetka, the monastery grew around a wooden Church of the Intercession brought from Vetka and consecrated on 12 December 1765. It received official status on 22 April 1768 by order of the provincial chancery. Under its abbot Mikhail Kalmyk it influenced Old Believers as far as the Don, the Urals and Siberia. In 1848 it was converted to the Edinoverie rite, and after 1917 it was closed and used for children's institutions.

The monastery was a centre of the Vetka Old Believer agreement: under its abbot Mikhail Kalmyk, Old Believer priests across Russia were said to receive his blessing. Monks and nuns gathered for feast-day services and knew znamenny chant, including demestvenny polyphony. Since 2017 it is a male monastery of the Klintsy Eparchy, with services held daily in the repaired St Nicholas Church.

The monastery stands in the centre of Pokrovskoye village, Klimovsky District, Bryansk Oblast, on a hilly bank of the Dozhogalka River. The site is enclosed by a three-metre brick wall, and the surviving buildings are the Pokrovsky Cathedral, the warm church and several heavily rebuilt service structures. Daily services are held in the repaired St Nicholas Church, while the Pokrovsky Cathedral is still under repair, so parts of the grounds may be closed off.

Mature trees grow within the monastery walls, creating a rare integration between the religious structures and the natural environment. This green setting gives the location a different character than typical urban religious complexes.
