Alexander Nevsky Novo-Tikhvinsky Convent: Once the Largest Monastery in the Urals

The Alexander Nevsky Novo-Tikhvinsky Convent in Yekaterinburg is interesting not only as an Orthodox monastery, but also as an architectural monument of the late classicism. Originally, there was an almshouse here under the graveyard church. In 1809 it was transformed into a convent and soon became one of the largest monasteries in Russia, where up to one thousand nuns lived at a time! The monastery used to be attended by the monarchial personae: Emperor Alexander I and the future Emperor Alexander II.

Later, the Novo-Tikhvinsky Monastery housed several works: a weaving factory, a decorating shop and a gold-embroidered manufacture. The monastery was liquidated in the 1920s of the ХХ century, however, it was not demolished but handed over to the military department. In 1994 the monastery was revived. Now n its territory is under the restoration work.
