Sarov Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Sarov, Russia
The monastery complex includes multiple churches, gardens, and religious structures situated at the confluence of the Sarovka and Satis rivers.
Founded in 1705 when Prince Kugushev granted land to Father Isaac between the Satis and Sarovka rivers for establishing a religious community.
The monastery served as the spiritual home of Saint Seraphim of Sarov, a revered Orthodox saint who practiced asceticism there during the early 1800s.
The monastery welcomes visitors daily, offering guided tours of the churches, underground galleries, and the restored Dormition Cathedral dating from 2016.
The underground church of Saints Anthony and Theodosius, with its network of tunnels, remains the oldest structure in the monastery at over 300 years old.
