Transfiguration Monastery
Sverdlovsk region, Kamensk-Uralsky city, Kirov str., 18
Description:
The Transfiguration Monastery began its history with a women’s community founded by Avdotya Voronina. The first church built with her money was a church in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, which was opened in 1862. The main throne is consecrated in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord, the left chapel in honor of St. Nicholas, and the right one in honor of the Annunciation of the Virgin.
In 1917, 30 nuns and 150 novices lived in the monastery. Later, the monastery was closed, and its temples were desecrated and looted. The military enlistment office and land administration began to be located here, later clubs, warehouses, a bakery, children's educational institutions, etc.
On the site of the already destroyed convent in 1998, a new monastery was founded, now a men's one. Now the monastery is being revived, divine services are performed in it and restoration work is being carried out. Now at the monastery there is a sobering society and an Orthodox school.
