Pukhitsa convent

Absolutely fantastic! This monastery is well looked after and has the most beautiful architecture! I would advise anyone to visit it, great experience!!!

Beautiful and peaceful place. You can visit freely, no tickets required, but since its an active monastery, one must remember to be respectful and not disturb the nuns living there.

Wow, beautiful place and probably must-see destination when visiting the eastern part of Estonia. Prepare yourself to be amazed by the self-sufficient Russian Orthodox community. Please be respectful of their faith and traditions.

On Saturdays and Sundays… around 10 11 am

The story of this spiritual sites dates back to the 16th century but the Orthodox cathedral was built much more recently at the beginning of the 20th century. There are 6 other churches inside the wall dedicated to their own saint. You can have a stroll in the park and get in the cathedral but you must be quiet at all times, there are over 100 nuns on the site. You can buy their honey (it s delicious) and help preserve the site.

Really amazing and beautiful place. One of the oldest Monastery (Convent) in Estonia that has been built in 1891.
A Must visit place even not for religious people.

Very nice place

Nice quite place. There is a spring where you can fill a bottle with healing water or jump into the pool

Orthodox women monestary. Beautiful historical place.

A must-see place in Eastern Estonia, even if you are a nonbeliever. Beautiful and well-maintained monastery yard, definitely worth to take a 30-45 min walk. Watch out for signs and avoid getting too close to wooden houses where nuns live. Parking lot near the main entry seems to be only for guests who agreed their visit in advance, so best to park your car a bit further.

An amazingly kept convent. Really quite and beautiful

Beautiful Monastery

That is spiritual place with a long history of miracle making icons and one of them Dormition of holy Motther of God which is not man made.... its frame gold and silver produced in St. Petersburgh beginning of 20th century .
It's not a place for tourists but more for spiritual seeker or pilgrim.

With Snow on the ground, wearing fur jacket walking hand in hand with your Love. Singing In native tongue For Peace On Earth Good Will for man in a crazy Time. Is majestic. This is not an average tour stop. In case you did not know my entries are not average. The Rich History of going thru Nazis then Horrible Communist. And the endurance of Women who Loved the People is Off the Charts. So many have no idea what real Nuns were and some are today. I honor them, And the Holy mother who Gave birth to our Lord. And my own birth mom and my dear New mom or step mom. Merry Christmas World. If your around come here. We are the folks that have some fun stuff going on in this region. We are part of something special and your welcome to join us. may your Family be filled with Love as we step into 2021.

Really beautiful, a suprise stop that was very worth to visit. (Try not to go to the "bathroom", tho)

Nice historical place to walk.

A wonderful place to visit even better in winter

Lovely place to go and have a look around. Completely different way of life in there .

It's a pleasant place for visit in summer time. You'll see a lot of diversity ortodox architecture. It's a well maintained place.
