Troitse-Scanov Convent, Orthodox monastery in Narovchatsky District, Russia.

The Troitse-Scanov Convent features a two-story five-domed cathedral with exterior paintings and distinct architectural elements from the late 18th century.

Founded in the mid-17th century, the monastery experienced a devastating fire in 1676 that destroyed its wooden structures and historical documentation.

The cathedral contains two altars: the lower level dedicated to the Assumption of Mother of God and upper level to the Holy Trinity.

Located 4 kilometers from Narovchat center, the monastery maintains regular religious services and accepts visitors interested in Orthodox heritage.

A three-level cave monastery system extends 1.5 kilometers from the main complex, featuring underground paths and chambers carved by monks.
