Серафимо-Саровский монастырь, Orthodox monastery in Novomakarovo, Russia
The Serafimo-Sarovsky Monastery features a main church, a summer church, and two holy springs situated across its spacious grounds in Voronezh Region. The buildings are arranged within the fenced property, creating an enclosed sacred space for worship.
The monastery was established in September 1995 on the former estate of General Solovtsov, who participated in the Caucasian War. This transformation of a historical property marked a new beginning for spiritual life in the region.
The monastery's name links it to Seraphim of Sarov, and its main church is dedicated to him as the Universal Luminary. A spring long held to be healing has drawn pilgrims here; in 2005 a second spring and a bathing pool were consecrated in honour of the icon of the Mother of God "Inexhaustible Cup".
The monastery is located in Novomakarovo at 1 Serafimovskaya Street and can be reached by phone or email for inquiries. Visitors should check before coming, as access may vary depending on religious services and the season.
The monastery stands on the former estate and garden of General Solovtsov, a veteran of the Caucasian War. Its holy spring, long considered healing, received a new consecrated well and bathing pool in 2005 dedicated to the icon of the Mother of God "The Inexhaustible Cup." The monastery also has two metochia, in Malaya Gribanovka and Bratki.
