Ioanno-Predtechensky Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Vyazma, Russia.
The monastery complex includes the Church of the Icon of Our Mother of Smolensk and administrative buildings within its walled perimeter.
Founded in 1535 by monk Gerasim Boldinsky, the monastery received official permission from Metropolitan Makary and Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich for construction in 1542.
The Church of Smolensk Hodegetria stands as an example of uzoroche architectural style, representing traditional Russian Orthodox design elements from the 17th century.
Located at Dokuchaeva Street 48-a in Vyazma, the monastery maintains a small bakery producing traditional pastries to support its operations.
The monastery transformed from a male institution to a convent in 1995, led by sister Lavrentiya Pavlyuchenkova after its return to the Orthodox Church.
