Makariev monastery

The monastery was founded in the first half of the XV century by St. Macarius of Zheltovodsky and Unzhensky.

The monastery is named after the Yellow Lake, on the bank of which St. Macarius founded the monastery. The Volga River, changing its course, eventually absorbed the lake, and the monastery was on the Volga coast.

The throne of the central cathedral is consecrated in honor of the Holy Trinity, so the monastery is called Trinity.

During its long history, the monastery was abandoned three times and restored three times. He was male and he was female.

Nowadays, Makarievsky Zheltovodsky Monastery is located 100 km. from Nizhny Novgorod downstream of the Volga in the village of Makaryevo, Nizhny Novgorod region.
