Bogorodichny Shcheglovsky Monastery

Bogorodichny Shcheglovsky Monastery is an Orthodox monastery in Tula with a complex of multiple religious buildings and churches. The site includes the Cathedral of the Theotokos Galaktotrophousa, the Church of Nikandr of Pskov, and a bell tower arranged within the compound.

The monastery was founded in 1859 during the Russian Empire and grew as a religious center in the region. It later received recognition as a regional cultural heritage site for its architectural and religious importance.

The monastery serves as a living center where Orthodox believers gather to observe their faith through prayer and ritual. Visitors can observe religious ceremonies and community gatherings that take place throughout the year in its different buildings.

The monastery grounds are accessible to visitors who wish to explore the churches and compound. It is helpful to check the official website before visiting to find information about opening hours and available guided tours.

The complex preserves rare examples of mid-1800s Orthodox church architecture with distinctive design elements from that era. The arrangement of different church buildings alongside the bell tower offers insight into the religious building practices of that period.
