Belogorsk monastery

The monastery on the White Mountain near Kungur is often called the Ural Athos. This is one of the main Orthodox sights of the Perm Territory and the Urals.

The foundation stone temple of the monastery was built in the Byzantine style, for a decade and a half. The Holy Cross Cathedral accommodated up to 8 thousand parishioners. Construction materials were produced by the monks themselves – at the monastery brick factory. In the 1990s, work began on the restoration of the monastery and its main attraction - the Holy Cross Cathedral, they continue to this day.
