Iverian convent

The Iverian Women's Monastery is an Orthodox monastery in Samara. It is an architectural monument of the local level. It was built in 1850 as a community of sisters of mercy. The city allocated for the construction of the territory outside the city on the banks of the Volga, where today the Zhigulevsky brewery is located.

Thanks to the prosperity of the community, in 1860 it became known as a monastery. In the next decade, the monastery complex was built. By the beginning of the XX century, the Iversky monastery turned into a small town within the walls of which there were three temples, ten residential women's buildings and many other buildings.

In 1925 the monastery was closed and most of the buildings were demolished.

The Iversky convent was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1992. It is under state protection as an architectural monument of local importance.
