Monastery in Sura, Orthodox monastery in Sura, Russia

The Monastery in Sura is a religious complex featuring traditional Russian Orthodox architecture with multiple domed buildings and ecclesiastical structures. The buildings spread across the grounds in a layout typical of Orthodox monastic compounds.

Founded in 1899 at the initiative of Father John of Kronstadt, born in Sura, the community became a full women's monastery in 1900. Its wooden Church of St John the Theologian was consecrated on 20 June 1900. Closed in the 1920s, it was reopened by the Holy Synod on 4 October 2012 with Abbess Mitrofania (Mikolko) as superior.

The monastery is a women's community, founded in 1899 at the birthplace of John of Kronstadt, who blessed the site on 14 June 1899. Its first 35 residents came mostly from peasant families, and the superior, nun Varvara, arrived from the Leushino monastery. John of Kronstadt visited every year until his death in 1908.

The monastery can be reached through local streets including Novaya Street and Ioanna Kronstadt Street within the settlement. Religious services are held regularly and open to visitors who wish to observe the community worship.

The monastery stands in Sura, the birthplace of John of Kronstadt, who chose the site himself and blessed it on 14 June 1899. He visited the community every year until his death in 1908, and the nuns followed a rule he helped compose that gave a central place to the Jesus Prayer.
