Serafimo-Ponetaevsky Convent, Orthodox monastery in Ponetaevka, Russia.

Serafimo-Ponetaevsky Convent is a former Orthodox women's monastery founded in 1864 in the village of Ponetaevka, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. Its surviving buildings now serve other uses: part of one wing holds a skete of the Serafimo-Diveyevsky convent, topped by a small dome with a cross, while other wings house a boarding school for people with mental illness and the building with the bell tower holds its administration.

Founded in 1864 by E. A. Kopeeva, daughter of a major general, as a women's community in memory of Seraphim of Sarov, it became a monastery five years later. Abbesses included Evpraksia (Glikeria Zanyatova) from 1870 to 1893, Nektaria (Simikova) from 1894 to 1917, and Evpraksia (Praskovia Zanyatova) from 1917 to 1927. Closed and desecrated in 1925, part of one building now houses a skete of the Serafimo-Diveevsky convent.

The convent's name comes from the village of Ponetaevka and Saint Seraphim of Sarov, in whose memory it was founded. Its main relic was the "Znamenie" icon of the Mother of God, painted in 1879 by the nun Klavdiya Voyloshnikova; after 14 May 1885 it was credited with a miraculous radiance, moving eyes and healings. Today the skete church is dedicated to the "Joy of All Who Sorrow" icon.

The convent buildings now serve other uses: part of one block holds the Diveyevo monastery's skete, other blocks house a residential institution for people with mental illness, and the building with the bell tower holds its administration. The former pilgrims' guesthouse held the village school, closed since 2010.

The wonder-working "Znamenie" icon was painted in 1879 by the nun Klavdiya Voyloshnikova; on 14 May 1885 it reportedly shone with a miraculous light and its eyes moved, and healings were attributed to prayer before it. The monastery was closed and desecrated in 1925, and its buildings later housed a school and a psychiatric boarding school.
