Uspensky monastery, Oryol, Eastern Orthodox monastery in Oryol, Russia.

The Uspensky Monastery is an Eastern Orthodox monastery set on a hill in Oryol, Russia, with several religious buildings grouped on the same grounds. These include the Dormition Church, the Our Lady of Kazan Cathedral, and the small Trinity Church.

The monastery began in 1655 at the Epiphany Church of the Oryol fortress, built in 1641. After a July 1673 fire, the hieromonk Evfimy restored it, and in 1680 a second fire spared only the Epiphany Cathedral, so the community moved downstream on the Oka to Vvoznaya Hill. A wooden Dormition church followed in 1684, a stone one with a bell tower in 1688, and the Trinity Cathedral was consecrated in 1879. Closed in 1923 and blown up in the 1930s, the site was returned to the eparchy in 1992 and monastic life resumed in 1996.

The monastery serves as a spiritual center where Eastern Orthodox services and rituals take place regularly, drawing people from the local community. It shapes the religious life of Oryol through its ongoing role in the diocese.

The monastery sits on Ulitsa Yermolova in Oryol and is open during the day. Visitors should cover their shoulders and knees, as religious services are held here on a regular basis.

The Trinity Church, built in 1843–1845 by architect N. Yefimov for governor A. V. Kochubey, is the only church of the old monastery still standing; it served as the family tomb, where his mother, wife and two sons were buried, though the graves are lost. Its two cupolas survive beside fragments of the Trinity Cathedral's apses and the remains of the wall.
