Svensky Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Suponevo, Russia
The monastery includes several buildings in Russian Baroque style, with a central cathedral and multiple churches arranged around an inner courtyard near river Desna.
Founded in 1288 by Prince Roman Mikhailovich after his reported healing from blindness through the miraculous Svenskaya Icon of the Mother of God.
The monastery maintained a substantial library containing 1300 books, including rare manuscripts and early printed editions during the 18th century golden age.
Daily religious services occur at 8:00 and 17:00, with strict dress requirements mandating skirts and headscarves for women, long trousers for men.
The original Svenskaya Icon, which disappeared from a boat and appeared in an oak tree according to legend, now resides in Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery.
