Assumption Monastery, Staraya Ladoga
Assumption Monastery, Staraya Ladoga, Orthodox monastery in Staraya Ladoga, Russia
Located on the left bank of the Volkhov River, this religious complex contains the Dormition Cathedral with its original plinthite construction and relief crosses.
Founded in 1156, the Dormition Cathedral represents one of the few remaining pre-Mongol structures in northern Russia and underwent major renovations in 1761 and 1856.
The monastery incorporates elements of early Novgorodian stone architecture, with fragments of 12th-century frescoes discovered during restoration work in the 1950s.
Visitors can reach the monastery by taking a train to Volhovstroy station and then connecting to bus number 23 that travels directly to Staraya Ladoga.
Between 1718 and 1725, the monastery served as residence for Eudoxia Lopukhina, the first wife of Peter the Great, following her banishment from the royal court.
