Semiozerskiy Monastyr'

The monastery is not in a "passable" place. Among the ruins are several restored buildings. Free access. It is completely uncommon for modern religious centers to pay zero attention to visitors. There is not even a donation box.

The Semiozersky Monastery is a holy place, silence and tranquility, the soul rests from all worries and worries prayed for by many generations and the labors of monks, there are many flowers and peacocks, guinea fowls, interesting chickens are also bred there, you can also walk through the forest to the holy font and plunge into it, dropping illness and worries grief and anger. A place for a must visit for all pro-Orthodox and not only, there are places on earth where the forces of the earth come out and this is one of them

One of the few Orthodox monasteries in Russia that has not been corrupted by commercialization: there is no false pathos and gloss that attracts tourists, not pilgrims. Everything here, to the impossibility, is simple and accessible, there is no screaming and defiant beauty, well-groomed, to a sufficient extent, territory; here the planting of cabbage for the needs of the monastery is harmoniously combined with planting flowers. Very interesting birds: ducks and geese, peacocks and turkeys, guinea fowls. Particularly interesting are the completely black roosters and hens. We must pay tribute to the abbot - he is doing a lot to restore the monastery, its territory, ruined and desecrated churches. To get to the monastery you need at least a little, but work hard - just, driving along the road, you can't get there, probably this is what gives it that simplicity and accessibility that are so dear to pilgrims.

Nice monastery. clean, well-groomed. There is a mini-zoo on the territory. Various breeds of chickens, pheasants, peacocks, turkeys, geese. There is where to park the car

A place where you relax with your soul. There are few tourists. More believers attend temple. The road is good. You can drive directly to the entrance to the monastery. A holy spring with a font is located a 15-20 minute walk along a picturesque forest path.
