Ascension Monastery, Kazan, Orthodox monastery in Kazan, Russia.

The Kazan Resurrection New Jerusalem Monastery stands on a hill above Lake Sredny Kaban, 7 km from central Kazan. Its main Cathedral of the Renewal of the Church of the Resurrection, built in stone in 1698 under Metropolitan Markell, is a single-domed Russian Baroque church with carved window surrounds, corner half-columns, a refectory and open galleries. A five-tier bell tower and the 1704 gate church of St Tikhon of Amathus complete the complex.

Founded in 1665 by Kazan Metropolitan Lavrenty II, a contemporary of Patriarch Nikon, the monastery was inspired by Nikon's New Jerusalem complex on the Istra River. Its first buildings were wooden; the main Cathedral of the Renewal of the Church of the Resurrection was rebuilt in stone in 1698 under Metropolitan Markell. Most buildings date from the tenure of Metropolitan Tikhon (1699–1724), including the 1704 gate church of St Tikhon of Amathus. In 1764 Empress Catherine II's secularization marked it for abolition.

The monastery's name refers to the New Jerusalem Monastery on the Istra River near Moscow, founded by Patriarch Nikon, whose example inspired Kazan Metropolitan Lavrenty II in 1665. A 1666 petition by Old Believer Fyodor Trofimov describes Lavrenty riding to a feast in a gilded chariot and building covered stone passages from his cells to the cathedral, which the petitioner called pride.

The monastery stands on a hill above Lake Sredny Kaban, about 7 km from central Kazan in the Privolzhsky district, near the former village of Gorki. The main stone Cathedral of the Renewal of the Church of the Resurrection, built in 1698 under Metropolitan Markell, is the landmark to head for. The gate church of St Tikhon of Amathus, added in 1704, was reconsecrated in 1905 to St Tikhon of Zadonsk.

The monastery stands on a hill above Lake Sredny Kaban, which also belonged to it. In 1665 the Old Believer Fyodor Trofimov complained to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich that Metropolitan Lavrenty II rode to services in a gilded chariot and had stone passages built from his cells to the cathedral, claiming Nikon had ordered him to build a new Jerusalem and become patriarch there.
