Спасо-Преображенский Валаамский монастырь
Church
Open Details
The Valaam Monastery is one of the most interesting historical objects in Russia. At the moment, it is impossible to say exactly when it was founded, however, in some chronicles this place is mentioned already in the tenth century. And the monastery started to develop already during the reign of Elizabeth. During the Finnish and World War II the monastery was significantly damaged, and its restoration began only in the 80s, when the museum-reserve was organized here.

Upon arrival from the island it will be a pleasure to go straight to one of the local restaurants for dinner. As the café at the Kexholm Hotel has already proved itself to be a good place to spend the rest of the evening. If you don't plan to drive in the future, you can supplement the evening with a variety of wines from the bar list.
