Ioannovsky Convent, Orthodox monastery on Karpovka River, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The monastery features a three-level cathedral with white marble walls, Byzantine-style domes, and detailed stone carvings on its exterior facades.
Founded in 1900 by Saint John of Kronstadt, the monastery underwent closure in 1923 during Soviet times until its restoration to the church in 1989.
The monastery holds religious services in the Church of the Twelve Apostles, maintaining Russian Orthodox traditions through daily prayer cycles and liturgical ceremonies.
Visitors can access the monastery through the main entrance on Karpovka River Embankment, with guided tours available from Thursday through Sunday.
The basement church contains the marble tomb of Saint John of Kronstadt, which became a destination for pilgrims seeking healing in the early 1900s.
