Sredneuralsk monastery, Orthodox monastery in Sredneuralsk, Russia

The Sredneuralsk monastery is a walled complex of brick buildings on open ground ringed by coniferous forest on the outskirts of Sredneuralsk. Its tallest structure is a russet-brick bell tower with a hipped roof and small golden onion dome; the main long building has pale walls, a bright blue roof, arched windows and a golden central dome. To the right stand a red-brick building with a green roof and small gold cupolas, then white buildings with golden onion domes.

Construction began in 2002 with workers from Ganina Yama, and on 20 April 2005 the Holy Synod blessed the opening of the women's monastery, naming nun Varvara (Krygina) as abbess. The site had earlier held a WWII prisoner-of-war camp known as the "German farmstead" and later belonged to the Sredneuralsk power station. In 2020 a dispute over the monastery's confessor, schema-igumen Sergius (Romanov), led to his defrocking and to court proceedings over the buildings.

The monastery is named after the icon of the Mother of God "Spreader of the Breads". By 2020 it housed over 500 people, including about 60 children aged 2 to 18, some orphans under the sisters' guardianship, who studied through Yekaterinburg's Svyato-Simeonovskaya gymnasium by family form. Since 27 December 2023 the site has held the metochion of the Serafimo-Diveyevsky monastery, dedicated to the Protection of the Mother of God.

The monastery complex stands on the outskirts of Sredneuralsk, with the Ioanno-Bogoslovsky skete across from the main entrance. The former monastery grounds were closed to visitors after the inhabitants were evicted by court decision on 14 April 2021, and since 27 December 2023 the site has been an eparchial metochion of the Serafimo-Diveyevsky monastery dedicated to the Protection of the Theotokos. A path of about 700 metres outside the walls passes the early 19th-century Kazan Icon Church, whose carved window frames and gilded cross above the entrance can be seen from it.

The monastery gained national attention in 2020 when security forces deployed a team to arrest the monastery's leader. This unusual event brought the site into the public eye far beyond the local region.
