“A piece of Heaven on Far Eastern soil”: that is what the sisters call their convent, which stands in a picturesque spot on the shore of Lake Petropavlovskoye. The bell tower offers a breathtaking view of the lake's blue waters, emerald forests, and endless open plains. The idea of founding a monastery in the Amur region goes back to St. Innocent (Veniaminov). It began to take shape under Bishop Makary (Darsky), who invited Hieromonk Alexy (Oskolkov) from Mount Athos. In 1894 Hieromonk Alexy began searching for a site for the monastery, but the chosen place flooded and a new one had to be found. The modern convent was founded in 2001 under Bishop Mark (Tuzhikov). Today it is a flourishing community with churches, workshops, and farm buildings.

Natural Harmony

The convent's park alley stretches along the picturesque Lake Petropavlovskoye, surrounded by majestic taiga forests. Here, 60 kilometers (37 miles) from the bustle of Khabarovsk, nature has created a perfect place to rest body and soul. Strolling along the shady paths, visitors can enjoy clean air filled with the scent of pine needles and flowers.

A Place of Healing for the Soul

The landscaped grounds let you escape everyday worries and routine and enjoy fresh air and natural beauty. In this place, with its special atmosphere of spirituality and peace, you can restore your strength, find inner balance, and feel at one with nature. The silence of the park, broken only by the rustle of leaves and birdsong, helps you leave worldly bustle behind and sink into deep inner peace, while the closeness of the church creates a special, uplifting atmosphere that fosters spiritual renewal and self-discovery.
