Kazansky Danilovsky monastery, Russian Revival monastery in Danilov, Russia.

The Kazansky Danilovsky monastery is a complex of religious buildings in Danilov featuring multiple churches arranged around a central space and topped by a prominent bell tower. The site combines elements typical of Russian Revival architecture with traditional Orthodox religious structures.

The community was founded on 9 July 1894 at Gorushka on the initiative of Paraskeva Kozlova, a merchant's daughter who had lived at St Catherine's Monastery in Jerusalem. A two-tier white-stone bell tower with holy gates was completed and consecrated in 1900. In 1901, by decree of Nicholas II, the community became a monastery and Kozlova was raised to the rank of abbess. Soviet authorities closed it in 1928; it has since been revived as an active monastery.

The monastery is named for the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, whose veneration was blessed in 1897 by John of Kronstadt, who promised to help find an architect for the cathedral. The main church was never finished in the imperial period: work stopped in 1909 with walls already greening and scaffolding rotting, and was only resumed in summer 1915 under Abbess Maria (Pirozhkova), when subscription sheets were printed in Lomikovsky's Danilov press to collect donations.

The monastery welcomes visitors year-round and operates as an active religious center where daily services take place. Respectful dress is appropriate when visiting, and it is good to be mindful of worship times.

The Kazan Cathedral was begun in 1897 with the blessing of John of Kronstadt, but funds ran out and the walls stood unfinished with rotting scaffolding for years. Construction resumed only in summer 1915 under Abbess Maria (Pirozhkova), when subscription sheets were printed in Lomikovsky's Danilov press to collect donations.
