"Ganina Yama" Friary: An Imperishable Memory of the Royal Romanov Family

Architectural Monuments • Temples and places of worship • Abbeys and Monasteries • Other places

"Ganina Yama" (“Ganya’s Pit”) is a direful and sad place. It is here where members of the royal Romanov family, killed on the night of 16 July, 1918, were first buried. It is known that the night after the first burial the Bolsheviks relocated the bodies to another area, however, the "Ganina Yama" has remained a place of pilgrimage for devotees of the last of the Romanovs.

The name "Ganina Yama" has an explanation. Once there was a mine owned by a miner nicknamed Ganya. When he abandoned it, the place became known as "The Four Brothers Mine", as these places were allegedly owned by four brothers. However, the old name was always used in parallel with the new one. A friary was established here on October 1, 2000, in memory of the last of the Romanovs. This is one of the youngest monasteries in Russia. Its official name is the Monastery of the Holy Imperial Passion-Bearers. In its territory you can see a memorial cross and the very mine, where the bodies of the royal family members were thrown off.
