Ioanno-Predtechensky Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Vyazma, Russia.

The Ioanno-Predtechensky Monastery is an Orthodox monastery in Vyazma within Russia. The complex includes several buildings centered around a church, all enclosed within a defensive wall that defines the monastic grounds.

The monastery was founded in 1535 by monk Gerasim Boldinsky and received official permission for construction in 1542. In the 20th century it experienced significant disruption but was later restored and returned to Orthodox Church use.

The church displays the uzoroche architectural style, a decorative approach to Russian Orthodox design featuring detailed ornaments across its facades. Visitors can observe the craftsmanship evident in the stone carving and intricately patterned decorative elements.

The monastery is located within Vyazma town center and is accessible on foot for visitors exploring the local area. It is best visited during daylight hours to fully appreciate the architectural details and overall layout.

The monastery operates a small bakery that produces traditional pastries to support its operations. This craft production remains part of the daily life within the monastic community.
