Monastery in Sura

The monastery features traditional Russian Orthodox architecture with multiple domed structures and ecclesiastical designs spread across its grounds at 63 degrees north latitude.

Founded in 1899, the monastery became a regional cultural heritage site, preserving religious traditions through significant political and social transformations in Russia.

The monastery continues the practices of Eastern Orthodox monasticism, with monks performing daily rituals and maintaining spiritual traditions within the Diocese of Arkhangelsk.

Visitors can reach the monastery via Novaya Street and Ioanna Kronstadt Street, with regular religious services open to the public throughout the week.

Located at an unusually northern position, the monastery stands as one of the most remote Orthodox religious centers in Russia's Arkhangelsk region.
