Nizhne-Voskresensky Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Krivoluchya-Sura, Russia.

Nizhne-Voskresensky Monastery is an Orthodox monastery near Balakovo with architecture combining Baroque and Neoclassical elements. The complex includes multiple buildings with workshops dedicated to icon painting, embroidery, and traditional food preparation.

Founded as an Old Believer hermitage, probably in 1763, by Avraamy and twelve companions from the Polish settlement of Vetka, it stood by Monastyrskoye Lake near the village of Krivoluchye. In 1829 it was forcibly converted to the Edinoverie rite, closed by the Soviet authorities in 1928, and officially revived as an Orthodox monastery in 2005.

The monastery takes its name from its main church, the Resurrection (Voskresenie), and the prefix Nizhne- marks its downstream position on the Bolshoy Irgiz. Founded as an Old Believer skete, it was forcibly converted to the Edinoverie rite in 1829. Monks here copied and illuminated manuscripts, and pilgrims came for instruction in the old rites.

The site is best visited during daylight hours when workshops are active and architectural details are clearly visible. Keep in mind that this is a functioning monastery where respectful behavior is expected from visitors.

The monastery's name comes from its position downstream on the Bolshoy Irgiz: the prefix Nizhne- (lower) distinguished it from the Sredne-Nikolsky and Verkhne-Uspensky monasteries founded along the same river. Its first wooden chapel, dedicated to St Nicholas, was built in 1764, a year after the community settled by Monastyrskoye Lake.
