Bogorodit︠s︡e-Rozhdestvenskiĭ monastyrʹ, Orthodox monastery in Vladimir, Russia

The Nativity of the Virgin Mary Monastery is an Eastern Orthodox monastery in Vladimir featuring white stone walls and multiple golden domes rising above the ancient city. The complex comprises several churches, a bell tower structure, and residential buildings arranged around a central courtyard.

The monastery was founded in 1191 by Prince Vsevolod III and ranks among the oldest religious complexes in the Golden Ring region. Over centuries it survived fires and underwent multiple expansions, with most surviving structures dating from the 17th through 19th centuries.

The monastery takes its name from the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Mother of God, consecrated in 1191 and rebuilt between 1999 and 2004 on the site of the church blown up in 1930. The cloister was restored in 1993 and again houses the Vladimir eparchy's ruling bishop, its administration and a theological seminary. Archimandrite Nil (Sychov) has led the community since 2001.

The monastery stands in Vladimir's Pecherny Gorod, east of the Dormition and St Demetrius cathedrals, and is reached from Bolshaya Moskovskaya street. The white stone walls built in 1700–1701 enclose the grounds; the 1999–2004 Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God replaces the cathedral blown up in 1930. The monastery is also the seat of the Vladimir eparchy and its seminary, so parts of the complex are working offices and access may be restricted during services.

The monastery's main cathedral and its free-standing bell tower were demolished in 1930, after the Soviet authorities took over the complex in 1920 and installed the provincial OGPU there in 1922. A new Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God was built on the razed cathedral site between 1999 and 2004. The white bell tower with the dark octagonal roof seen today is a later structure, not the medieval one.
