Sezenovsky Monastery, Orthodox women's monastery in Sezenovo, Lipetsk Oblast, Russia

Sezenovsky Monastery is an Orthodox monastery complex in Sezenovo with multiple churches distinguished by white walls, golden domes, and Eastern Orthodox architectural features. The buildings stand within stone perimeter walls that define the sacred grounds.

In December 1817 the ascetic Ioann settled in a cell built for him by Prince Fyodor Nesvitsky, owner of Sezenovo. A stone seven-altar Kazan cathedral was begun on 8 September 1838 and finished in 1842, its interior completed in 1847. Ioann died in 1839; on 11 April 1853 the Synod renamed the community the Ioanno-Kazansky women's monastery, opened on 12 July 1853 with Evfimiya Morgachyova as first abbess. The Kazan cathedral was dismantled in 1932.

The monastery is named after the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God and the founder, the recluse Ioann, who died in his cell in 1839. His relics were brought back from the village of Mechnyanka in July 2008. The lower cave church of the Trinity holds the graves of Ioann, the elder Daria and Abbess Serafima (Evfimiya Morgachyova).

The monastery is located in Sezenovo and welcomes visitors to walk the grounds and observe religious services. It helps to check service times in advance to make the most of your visit.

The monastery's lower Trinity Church holds the graves of its founder, the recluse Ioann, the elder Daria and Abbess Serafima (Euphemia Morgacheva), who became the first abbess in 1853. Under Soviet rule the church housed sheep and horses, then workshops and a fertiliser store; the lower church was restored only in 2008.
