Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Zvenigorod, Russia.

The Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery stands near the Moscow River, protected by stone walls measuring 760 meters with seven defensive towers.

Founded in 1398 by monk Savva under Prince Yuri of Zvenigorod, the monastery received multiple villages and land plots to support its establishment.

The Cathedral of the Nativity of the Theotokos, built around 1405, represents Russian Orthodox architecture with its austere design and decorative elements.

Located 48 kilometers west of Moscow, the monastery contains multiple buildings open to visitors, including chapels filled with religious artifacts.

The complex features two separate 17th-century palaces built specifically for the tsar and tsarina during its time as an imperial residence.
