Varnitsy Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Rostov, Russia
The Trinity-Sergius Monastery complex includes multiple stone churches, dormitories for monks, and educational facilities within its fortified walls near Rostov town.
Founded in 1427 by Archbishop Ephrem of Rostov, the monastery stands at the birthplace of Saint Sergius of Radonezh, a revered Russian Orthodox figure.
