Perm Dormition Monastery

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.

The monastery was founded in 1875 and underwent major development with the construction of the Uspensky Cathedral completed in 1913. This expansion phase defined the complex's current appearance and prominence in the city.

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.

A special treasure within the complex is the iconostasis in the Kazan Church, created by the Russian artist Nicholas Roerich. This church also serves as a family tomb for the Kamensky merchant family, blending spiritual and personal significance.
