Orthodox Monastery of the Dormition in Wojnowo

The Monastery of the Dormition of the Mother of God is one of six women's monasteries under the jurisdiction of the Polish Orthodox Church. It is located in Wojnowo, within the Diocese of Białystok and Gdańsk. The first women's monastic community in Wojnowo was established in 1935, inspired by Father Aleksandr Avayev, the local parson. The last nun from this group, rassophore Sister Ludmiła, moved to the monastery on Grabarka Holy Mount in 1956. Nearly 40 years later, efforts to revive the monastery were undertaken, and it resumed operations by decree of Archbishop Sawa of the Diocese of Białystok and Gdańsk. In its early years of revival, the community was dedicated to the Intercession of the Theotokos, a title changed in 2010 to the Dormition of the Mother of God.
