Perm Uspenskiy Female Monastery

Uspensky Women's Monastery is located in Perm on Plekhanova Street. The abbey has been operating since 1993 after the revival of the female community. It features churches dedicated to the Kazan Icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Apostle John the Theologian. The monastery was founded with funds from brothers Kamenskies, well-known local benefactors. In the early 20th century, there stood a wooden church of Holy Women-Mironosytsy within the convent. The monastery was officially opened by decision of the Sacred Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church in March 1993.
