Knyaginin Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Vladimir, Russia
The Princess' Assumption Monastery stands in central Vladimir with a four-pillared brick cathedral and visible silhouette north of Golden Gate.
Prince Vsevolod III established the monastery in 1200 after his wife Princess Maria Shvarnovna requested a place for religious devotion during her illness.
The Assumption Cathedral contains extensive frescoes from 1647, painted by Moscow master Mark Matveev, displaying religious scenes across its interior walls.
The monastery includes a Diocesan Women's School for religious education and maintains a shelter for children in need of care and support.
The monastery served as a burial site for noble women, including Princess Maria, the wife and daughter of Alexander Nevsky in the southern wall.
