We visited this monastery in April 2025. Before reaching the monastery, 200 meters away, there is a large parking lot, there are always places. The monastery itself is not very big, but it is cozy. The main attraction is the Church of the Holy Transfiguration. The building dates back to the 1150s, during the lifetime of Euphrosyne of Polotsk herself. The most valuable thing is the preserved frescoes of these years. Because of this, candles cannot be placed in the temple and only 15 people are allowed inside. But these murals are worth it. They have a very unusual school of writing and look amazing. They are the only ones worth visiting this monastery for. The place itself is salted and it is very pleasant and peaceful there.

The monastery where the relics of the heavenly patroness of Belarus, St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk, rest. Saint Euphrosyne is considered the patroness of female monasticism. It's worth a visit. A place of grace. We were there as travelers. The friendly sisters and Abbess Evdokia. Thank them for the warm welcome. The monastery has one of the oldest Temples in Russia. Built in the 12th century. The frescoes are well preserved.
