The most famous monastery in Belarus. A historical place. In the Holy Cross Cathedral (1893-97) - a shrine with the relics of St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk. The monastery itself was founded by the saint in 1127. There is a big reconstruction in the monastery. The Transfiguration Church is closed even externally, but the frescoes (the first two layers before the 12th century) can be seen in the Polotsk Art Museum.

A very pleasant place in all respects. Beautiful landscape design. Quiet, prayer-inspiring temples. Icons of ancient writing. The nuns are very accommodating, ready to help, explain. They read the never-ending psalter. There is a grocery store of the monastery compound and other goods. Fish shop. Clothing store. Kvass is very tasty. The parking lot is large for cars.

Be sure to come to this monastery. It is extremely cozy and bright here. This monastery was founded by the Holy Princess Euphrosyne of Polotsk in 1125. It is here that the oldest temple in Polotsk is located - the Transfiguration Church, built in the middle of the XII century. (The church is currently under restoration, but in 2025 it will be available to believers). The relics of Saint Euphrosyne are kept in the main cathedral and believers have the opportunity to venerate and pray to them. If you travel to Polotsk, then take the time to visit this monastery with a very interesting and difficult history. If you do not visit here, then consider that you have not felt the spirit of ancient Polotsk.
