Nikolo-Storozhensky monastery, Church building in Storozhno, Russia.

The Nikolo-Storozhensky monastery stands in Storozhno on the shore of Lake Ladoga. Its Church of St Nicholas the Wonderworker is the only surviving monument of old architecture on the Ladoga shore; the 16th-century building was rebuilt in 1939 and has been restored since the 2000s.

According to tradition, the monastery was founded by a repentant robber: the song of Kudeyar tells of an ataman who withdrew to a monastery, and one version places him on Storozhensky Cape as the monk Cyprian. The Orthodox Church venerates him as Blessed Cyprian, who died at the end of the 16th century. The Church of St Nicholas the Wonderworker, the only surviving monument of ancient architecture on the shore of Lake Ladoga, was rebuilt in 1939 and has been restored since the 2000s.

The monastery takes its name from Saint Nicholas and from the cape, Storozhensky Mys, where it stands. Tradition links its founding to Kudeyar, a robber chief who became a monk under the name Kiprian and is venerated locally as Blessed Kiprian; he died at the end of the 16th century. The church is the only surviving monument of old architecture on the Ladoga shore.

The monastery is accessible year-round and located in Leningrad Oblast. Visitors should keep in mind this is an active place of worship, so respectful dress and behavior are expected.

The surviving church of St Nicholas is described in the sources as the only remaining monument of ancient architecture on the shore of Lake Ladoga. In tsarist times the building was entered on the register of the architectural commission.
