Perm Dormition Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Perm, Russia

The Perm Dormition Monastery is an Orthodox monastic complex in Perm that includes several religious buildings with the Uspensky Cathedral as its main structure. The grounds encompass multiple chapels and auxiliary buildings that together form a cohesive religious complex.

Construction began in 1875 with funds from the merchant brothers Grigory and Fyodor Kamensky, and the Holy Synod raised the women's community to monastery status in 1882. The Kazan Church was consecrated on 12 October 1908, and in 1912 the monastery was elevated from third to first class. Closed in 1920, it was returned to the church in 1995.

The monastery serves as a spiritual center where Orthodox believers gather for worship and religious life continues according to Russian ecclesiastical traditions. You can witness daily prayers and seasonal celebrations that have shaped the community's rhythm for generations.

The grounds are open for visitors to explore the cathedral complex and attend Orthodox services. It is best to visit on weekdays when it is quieter, or on major feast days when special ceremonies take place.

The Kazan Church's wooden carved iconostasis and sketches for church vessels were made by Sergei Vashkov, while Nicholas Roerich also took part in decorating the interior. The church was founded on 1 May 1905 and consecrated on 12 October 1908. In 1914 Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna stayed in the monastery's abbess building.
