The Kyiv Pechersk Lavra contains numerous architectural monuments, ranging from bell towers to cathedrals to cave systems and to strong stone fortification walls. The main attractions of the Lavra include the Great Lavra Belltower, and the Dormition Cathedral.
Built in the 11th century, the main church of the monastery was destroyed during the World War II, a couple of months after the Nazi Germany troops occupied the city of Kyiv.
In 1928, the monastery was converted into a museum park by the Soviet authorities and after its return no efforts were provided to restore the church. The temple was finally restored in 1995 after Ukraine obtained its independence and the construction was accomplished in two years. The new Dormition Church was consecrated in 2000.

The Pochaiv Lavra of God's Mother Dormition is an Orthodox Monastery in Poczajów, Ukraine. It is under the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, the most important center of Orthodox monastic life in Volhynia and Ukraine.
The history of the monastery dates back to the 13th and even the 12th century. Initially, there was a hermitage here, then an Orthodox monastery, then a Uniate Basilian monastery and again an Orthodox church of the Moscow rite. Its history is turbulent, as is the political history of these lands.

Abbey of the Dormition is an abbey and the name of a Benedictine community in Jerusalem on Mt. Zion just outside the walls of the Old City near the Zion Gate.
Between 1998 and 2006 the community was known as the Abbey of Hagia Maria Sion, in reference to the Basilica of Hagia Sion that stood on this spot during the Byzantine period, but it resumed the original name during the 2006 celebrations of the monastery's centenary. Hagia Maria Sion is now the name of the foundation supporting the abbey's buildings, community and academic work.
A very interesting sight worth visiting in Spileo, Grevena is the Holy Monastery of the Dormition at the entrance of the village.
The cathedral and the rebuilt portion of the north wing ground floor are the only ones left from the once flourishing convent. The cathedral dedicated to Our Lady was founded in 1633 by Archbishop Gabriel of Milia Metsovo. Its decoration was done in two phases by the painters Nikolaos and Ioannis. The upper sections and spaces were adorned in 1649-1650, and from the spaces to the west wall of the main temple in 1650-1651. During the Turkish occupation the monastery functioned as a secret school and a hospital for the wounded. At the beginning of the 20th century its rich relics were moved to the Zavorda monastery with which the monastery merged in 1935.

Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra is the oldest and one of the main Orthodox sanctuaries, a unique monastic complex, the like of which there is no other in the world. This is the first monastery of Kievan Rus. Temples erected in the 11th century have been preserved almost in their original form. The Holy Dormition Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra is the first and oldest monastery on the territory of modern Ukraine. It occupies the territory of the Near and Far Caves and several houses for the reception of pilgrims.

The Orthodox church of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary was built in the years 1895-1896. It comes from the Market Square, in a rather unusual way, through a gate in a row of tenements. This church is a faithful copy of the Greek Orthodox Church in Vienna.
In the interior you will meet rich decorating portals and iconostasis, it's worth spending a few minutes to see it !!

Cerkiew Zaśnięcia Najświętszej Marii Panny była zbudowany w latach 1895-1896. Wchodzi się do niej z Rynku, w dość nietypowy sposób, przez bramę w szeregu kamienic. Kościół ten stanowi wierną kopię Greckiego Kościoła Prawosławnego w Wiedniu.
We wnętrzu spotkamy bogate zdobienia portali oraz ikonostasu, warto poświęcić kilka minut na jego zwiedzenie!

Dormition Cathedral in Kolomna. Three-domed Assumption Cathedral was founded in 1379 by Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy after the first victory of Russian troops over the Golden Horde in the Battle of the River Vozha. Construction of the cathedral lasted one year, presumably in his paintings participated Pheophan Grek. Cathedral stood until 1672, when it was demolished due to dilapidation. On the place of the demolished church for 10 years was built new, preserved to this day (architect Meletios Alekseev).

The Cathedral of the Dormition, or the Kutaisi Cathedral, more commonly known as Bagrati Cathedral, is an 11th-century cathedral in the city of Kutaisi, in the Imereti region of Georgia. A masterpiece of the medieval Georgian architecture, the cathedral suffered heavy damage throughout centuries and was reconstructed to its present state through a gradual process starting in the 1950s, with major conservation works concluding in 2012. A distinct landmark in the scenery of central Kutaisi, the cathedral rests on the Ukimerioni Hill.
In 1994 Bagrati Cathedral, together with the Gelati Monastery, was included in UNESCO's World Heritage Site list as a single entity. UNESCO removed Bagrati Cathedral from its World Heritage sites in 2017, considering its major reconstruction detrimental to its integrity and authenticity.
Tbilisi Sioni Cathedral of the Dormition (Georgian: სიონის ღვთისმშობლის მიძინების ტაძარი) is a Georgian Orthodox cathedral in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. Following a medieval Georgian tradition of naming churches after particular places in the Holy Land, the Sioni Cathedral bears the name of Mount Zion at Jerusalem. It is commonly known as the "Tbilisi Sioni" to distinguish it from several other churches across Georgia bearing the name Sioni.
The Tbilisi Sioni Cathedral is situated in historic Sionis Kucha (Sioni Street) in downtown Tbilisi, with its eastern façade fronting the right embankment of the Kura River. It was initially built in the 6th and 7th centuries. Since then, it has been destroyed by foreign invaders and reconstructed several times. The current church is based on a 13th-century version with some changes from the 17th to 19th centuries. The Sioni Cathedral was the main Georgian Orthodox Cathedral and the seat of Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia until the Holy Trinity Cathedral was consecrated in 2004.
The Church of Dormition was built around 1100 at the behest of David the Builder. It is also named the Upper Church (zemo eklesia). Now it is the central temple of the monastery. Initially, the temple had a dome, but during the invasion of Shah Abbas in 1614, the temple was destroyed and rebuilt only half a century later, in 1678. It was restored in a simplified form, like a basilica.
The Pyrohoshcha Dormition of the Mother of God Church (Ukrainian: Церква Успіння Богородиці Пирогощої, romanized: Tserkva Uspinnia Bohorodytsi Pyrohoshchoyi) or simply Pyrohoshcha Church (Ukrainian: Церква Пирогощі, IPA: [ˈtsɛrkwɐ pɪroˈɦɔʃtʃi]) is an Orthodox church in Kyiv in the historical neighbourhood Podil. The original church was built in 1130s by the Mstyslav I the Great of Kyiv. It was the main church of Podil, and was a temporary cathedral of Kyiv Metropolitanate in the early 17 century. In 1613 the church was reconstructured in Renaissance style, and then in 18th-19th centuries was rebuilt in Ukrainian Baroque and Neoclassicism styles.
Церковь Успения Богородицы Пирогощи (укр. Церква Успіння Богородиці Пирогощі) — православный храм, сооружённый в Киеве возле Подольского торжища (современная Контрактовая площадь) в 1132—1136 годах князьями Мстиславом и Ярополком, сыновьями князя Владимира Мономаха. Церковь упоминается в «Слове о полку Игоревом». Храм неоднократно возводился заново и перестраивался, в 1935 году был разрушен большевиками. В 1998 году на историческом месте храм был восстановлен в предполагаемом первоначальном облике.
Происхождение названия храма точно не установлено. По одной версии во времена Киевской Руси в храме находилась византийская икона Богородицы, называемая Пирогощей (от др.-греч. Πυργοτίσσα «пирготисса» — «башенная»). В Византии так называли иконы, которые размещались в башнях монастырей или крепостей.
Согласно Лаврентьевской летописи храм построен в 1132—1136 годах при княжении сына Владимира Мономаха — Мстислава Великого, на Подоле, у подножия Замковой горы. Упоминается в «Слове о полку Игореве» в связи с возвращением в Киев из половецкого плена героя этого произведения князя Игоря Святославича. Храм представлял собой небольшой трёхнефный храм, увенчанный куполом. Стены свода были украшены фресками, пол — глазурованными и мозаичными плитами.
В 1240 году храм был почти разрушен при нашествии монголов. К 1474 году восстановлен и празднично освящён, однако уже в 1482 году вновь сильно пострадал при набеге крымского хана Менгли-Гирея на Киев. В 1613—1614 годах после пожара 1611 года церковь была реконструирована бурмистром Киева, итальянским архитектором Себастьяно Браччи (Sebastiano Brachi).
In 1421, in place of the present Orthodox church, stood a Gothic church, built of stone and brick.
Between 1547 and 1549 the Orthodox Church, founded by the Moldavian hospodar Alexander Lopuszanin, was built there. The church complex consists of the Orthodox church of the Assumption, the belfry (Korniakt tower) and the chapel of the Three Holy Hierarchs.

W 1421 roku, na miejscu obecnej cerkwi, stał gotycki kościół, wzniesiony z kamienia i z cegły.
W latach 1547-1549 zbudowano w tym miejscu cerkiew, którą ufundował hospodar mołdawski Aleksander Łopuszanin, co pozostawiło na stałe ślad w jej nazwie: Cerkiew Wołoska. Zespół cerkiewny składa się z cerkwi Zaśnięcia Matki Bożej, dzwonnicy (wieży Korniakta) i kaplicy Trzech Świętych Hierarchów.
The Bachkovo Monastery of the Dormition of the Theotokos (Bulgarian: Бачковски манастир "Успение Богородично", Bachkovski manastir, Georgian: პეტრიწონის მონასტერი, Petritsonis Monasteri), archaically the Petritsoni Monastery or Monastery of the Mother of God Petritzonitissa is a major Eastern Orthodox monastery in Southern Bulgaria. It is located on the right bank of the Chepelare River, 189 km from Sofia and 10 km south of Asenovgrad, and is directly subordinate to the Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. The monastery is known and appreciated for the unique combination of Byzantine, Georgian and Bulgarian culture, united by the common faith.

The monastery is known and appreciated for the unique combination of Byzantine, Georgian and Bulgarian culture, united by the common faith.
The monastery was founded in 1083 by Prince Gregory Pakourianos, a prominent statesman and military commander in the Byzantine service, as a Georgian-dominated Orthodox monastery. He set up a seminary(school) for the youth at the monastery. The curriculum included religion, as well as mathematics, history and music. In the 13th century, the Georgian and Chalcedonic Armenian monks of the Petritsoni (Bachkovo) Monastery lost their domination over the monastery, but their traditions were preserved until the beginning of 14th century and an Armenian Gospel from the 10th century that came from this monastery still exists today.[3] During the time of the Second Bulgarian Empire, Bachkovo Monastery was patronized by Tsar Ivan Alexander, which is evidenced by an image of him on the arches of the ossuary's narthex. It is believed that the founder of Tarnovo Literary School and last patriarch of the mediaeval Bulgarian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Euthymius, was exiled by the Turks and worked in the school of the monastery in the early 15th century.
Although the monastery survived the first waves of Turkish invasion in Bulgarian lands, it was then looted and destroyed, but restored near the end of the 15th century. The refectory, whose mural paintings by an anonymous painter bear a significant artistic value, was reconstructed in 1601 and the Church of Mary, still preserved today, was finished in 1604.
Bachkovo Monastery is the final resting place of both Patriarch Euthymius (1330–1404) and Patriarch Cyril (1953–1971).
The Goritsky Monastery of Dormition (Russian: Успенский Горицкий монастырь) was a Russian Orthodox monastery in Pereslavl-Zalessky, Russia.
It was supposedly established in the early 14th century during the reign of Ivan I of Moscow (Ivan Kalita). In 1382 Tokhtamysh Khan destroyed the town and the monastery with it. According to the legend, Grand Princess Eudoxia of Moscow arrived as a pilgrim the day before the attack and managed to escape the Horde on a raft, covered by fog of the Pleshcheyevo lake. In gratitude for the miraculous salvation, she rebuilt the monastery and established a tradition of Easter rides on rafts across the lake.
All the monastery's manuscripts were destroyed by a fire on June 12, 1722, which is why little is known about its history.
No original architecture was preserved. The oldest parts of the preserved ensemble date to the 17-18th centuries.
The monastery was closed in 1788. In 1919 the Pereslavl-Zalessky Historical Museum was established within its territory.
The Monastery of the Dormition is one of the oldest in Crimea and is situated in the most beautiful corner of the peninsula - in the heart of the Mariam-Dere gorge framed with cliffs that rise high into the sky.
The exact date of the cloister's appearance in these lands is unknown. Historians incline to the version, according to which, the monastery was founded in the late 8th - early 9th century by Greek monks, who fled to Crimea from Byzantine.
By the early 15th century the cloister numbered several tens of caves already, and a tiny chapel, two houses for pilgrims and several fountains with - as monks believed - healing water were built near the caves.

Свято-Успенский мужской монастырь возведён в долине Мариам-Дере (долина Девы Марии). Время, когда он был заложен, доподлинно неизвестно, историки называют рубеж VIII-IX вв., но существует немало других версий. Общепринятой считается, что его основали в самом конце VIII века византийские монахи, почитатели икон, как и многие их собратья, бежавшие из Византии, когда там после Иконорборческого собора (754 год) началось жестокое уничтожение икон, фресок и мозаик. Монахов преследовали, считая их идолопоклонниками. Здесь, в покрытых лесом тихих горных долинах, они нашли убежище и место для уединённых молитв.
Период наибольшего развития начался для него с середины XIX века, когда тут воздвигли пять храмов, братские корпуса, несколько домов для паломников, а вокруг посадили чудесный сад. Существенную роль в г. Бахчисарай Успенский пещерный монастырь сыграл в годы Крымской войны, когда превратился, по сути, в госпиталь для русских солдат и матросов, защищавших Севастополь.
Во время Великой Отечественной войны, как и в годы Крымской, в ее стенах поместили госпиталь, а после окончания боевых действий, обустроили психоневрологический диспансер. Восстановили монастырь в 1993 г., когда были отремонтированы и отреставрированы почти все здания и храмы. Сегодня он является одним из крупнейших на полуострове.

Great bell tower of Holy Dormition Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. Kyiv. Ukraine.
Дзвіниця була зведена у 1731-1745 роках за проектом архітектора Готфріда Йоганна Шеделя. Під час зведення дзвіниці було використано близько п'яти мільйонів цегли різної форми та розмірів. Високохудожня кераміка виготовлялася на лаврських цегельних заводах під наглядом Шеделя.
Дзвіниця є восьмигранною чотириярусною вежею з позолоченим куполом. Діаметр основи дзвіниці становить 28,8 м, товщина стін першого ярусу - 8 м. Глибина фундаменту з гранітних плит перевищує 7 м. Висота становить 96,52 м (судячи з усього, з підземною частиною).
Архітектор Шедель вважав головну Лаврську дзвіницю найкращою своєю роботою. Про цю дзвіницю в 18 столітті він сказав: "Сея дзвіниця в Києво-Печерській Лаврі працею моєю зроблена, яким чином по всій Росії та в Європі інший не буде, і навіки ця дзвіниця стоятиме".

The Dormition of the Mother of God is a Great Feast of the Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Eastern Catholic Churches (except the East Syriac churches). It celebrates the "falling asleep" (death) of Mary the Theotokos ("Mother of God", literally translated as God-bearer), and her being taken up into heaven (bodily assumption). It is celebrated on 15 August (28 August N.S. in the Julian Calendar) as the Feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God. The Armenian Apostolic Church celebrates the Dormition not on a fixed date, but on the Sunday nearest 15 August. In Western Churches the corresponding feast is known as the Assumption of Mary, with the exception of the Scottish Episcopal Church, which has traditionally celebrated the Falling Asleep of the Blessed Virgin Mary on 15 August.
The plot "Dormition of the Mother of God" is based not on the Gospels, but on the Apocrypha and is dedicated to the death of the Mother of God.
Below on the couch lies the body of the deceased Mother of God, around her the grieving apostles are the earthly world. In the upper part behind the odrom stands the Savior. In his hands he holds the soul of his mother, which is depicted as a swaddled baby. Her soul was separated from her body and was taken into the hands of the Savior. Christ presses to his chest the most pure soul of the Mother of God, his progenitor, and takes her to his heavenly chambers.
Сюжет «Успіння Пресвятої Богородиці» заснований не на Євангеліях, а на апокрифах і присвячений смерті Богоматері.
Внизу на ложі лежить тіло померлої Богоматері, навколо неї скорботні апостоли - це земний світ. У верхній частині за одром стоїть Спаситель. Він оточений сяйвом, наче мандорлою - величезним німбом, що символізує собою божественну славу; ця частина зображення є божественним, небесним світом. У руках він тримає душу своєї матері, яка зображена у вигляді сповитого немовляти. Її душа відокремилася від тіла і була прийнята на руки Спасителя. Христос притискає до грудей пречисту душу Богоматері і забирає її до себе в небесні чертоги.
Сюжет «Успение Пресвятой Богородицы» основан не на Евангелиях, а на апокрифах и посвящен смерти Богоматери.
Внизу на ложе лежит тело умершей Богоматери, вокруг нее скорбящие апостолы — это земной мир. В верхней части за одром стоит Спаситель. В руках он держит душу своей матери, которая изображена в виде спеленутого младенца. Ее душа отделилась от тела и была принята на руки Спасителя. Христос прижимает к груди пречистую душу Богоматери, своего прародителя, и забирает ее к себе в небесные чертоги.
Канонические тексты не сообщают о времени и обстоятельствах кончины и погребения Богородицы. Согласно Новому Завету, распятый Христос усыновил Богородице ближайшего ученика — апостола Иоанна, который с этого момента «взял Её к себе» (Ин. 19:25—27) на своё попечение. Она пребывала со всеми апостолами в молитве (Деян. 1:14) и в день Пятидесятницы, как и они, получила дар Святого Духа (Деян. 2:1—14).
Putna Monastery, dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of God, is an Orthodox Christian monastic place, important cultural, religious and artistic center. In 2021, the authorities in Suceava County began marking the Via Mariae route to Putna Monastery.
The monastery is located 33 km northwest of Radauti, Suceava County. In the scriptory of Putna were copied manuscripts and precious miniatures were made. The place holds a rich monastery museum, with embroideries, manuscripts, religious objects, icons, etc.
The entrance to the monastery is made under the vaulted archer of a tower composed of ground floor and first floor, on whose eastern façade is the coat of arms of Moldova dated 1471. The tower was built in 1757 in the time of Prince Constantin Racoviță, this one also bearing the coat of arms on the western facade, in which the coats of arms of Moldavia and Wallachia appear together. Because the poet Mihai Eminescu together with Ioan Slavici and other participants in the “Putna Celebration” in August 1871 overnighted in those days in the hall upstairs, this construction is called “The Eminescu Tower”. Also on the east side is located the “Tower of the bell tower”, built in 1882.

The Dormition of Theotokos cathedral in Curtea de Arges is, perhaps, the most architectural symbol of Romania, the was St. Basil cathedral in Moscow is for Russia, Taj Mahal is for India, or the Eiffel Tower is for France. It was built in early XVI century by Neagoe I, a prince of the Romanian principality of Walachia, in Curtea de Arges, its Medieval capital. For historical context, the cathedral was built when Henry XVIII ruled England and Hernan Cortes conquered Mexico for Spain. Prince Neagoe was buried inside, along with several other princes of Walachia and several members of Romania's royal family.
Успенский собор в Куртя-де-Арджеш является, пожалуй, архитектурным символом Румынии, - роль, которую играют например cобор Василия Блаженного для России, Тадж-Махал для Индии, или Эйфелева башня для Франции. Собор был построен в начале XVI века Нягое I, господарем румынского княжества Валахия, в средневековой столице этого государства Куртя-де-Арджеш. Для исторического контекста, собор был построен когда испанцы завоевали Мексику а в Москве царствовал Василий III, за три года до рождения Ивана Грозного. Сам господарь Нягое был захоронен внутри, вместе с несколькими другими валашскими князьями и членами королевской семьи современной Румынии.
La cathédrale de la Sainte Dormition, située au-dessus de la vallée du Dniepr, a survécu à deux guerres mondiales - les armées de Napoléon et d'Hitler n'ont pas touché le bâtiment. De plus, les Allemands gardaient la cathédrale pour que rien ne lui arrive. La cathédrale actuelle se trouve à l'endroit où un ancien temple de l'icône miraculeuse de Constantinople et une église catholique ont été érigés devant elle. La Sainte Dormition a acquis sa dernière apparence sous le règne de Catherine II. L'impératrice, après l'achèvement de la construction, s'est vantée de la cathédrale à son ami, Joseph Habsburg.
Свято-Успенский Собор, стоящий над долиной Днепра, уцелел во время двух Отечественных войн — армии Наполеона и Гитлера не трогали здание. Более того, немцы охраняли собор, чтобы с ним ничего не случилось. Нынешний собор стоит на том месте, где до него были возведены древний храм для чудотворной иконы из Константинополя и католический костел. Свой окончательный вид Свято-Успенский приобрел в эпоху правления Екатерины Второй. Императрица после завершения строительства хвасталась собором перед своим другом — Иосифом Габсбургом.
The Bachkovo Monastery of the Dormition of the Theotokos (Bulgarian: Бачковски манастир "Успение Богородично", Bachkovski manastir, Georgian: პეტრიწონის მონასტერი, Petritsonis Monasteri), archaically the Petritsoni Monastery or Monastery of the Mother of God Petritzonitissa is a major Eastern Orthodox monastery in Southern Bulgaria. It is located on the right bank of the Chepelare River, 189 km from Sofia and 10 km south of Asenovgrad, and is directly subordinate to the Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. The monastery is known and appreciated for the unique combination of Byzantine, Georgian and Bulgarian culture, united by the common faith.
The monastery was founded in 1083 by Prince Gregory Pakourianos, a prominent statesman and military commander in the Byzantine service, as a Georgian-dominated Orthodox monastery. He set up a seminary(school) for the youth at the monastery. The curriculum included religion, as well as mathematics, history and music. In the 13th century, the Georgian and Chalcedonic Armenian monks of the Petritsoni (Bachkovo) Monastery lost their domination over the monastery, but their traditions were preserved until the beginning of 14th century and an Armenian Gospel from the 10th century that came from this monastery still exists today.[3] During the time of the Second Bulgarian Empire, Bachkovo Monastery was patronized by Tsar Ivan Alexander, which is evidenced by an image of him on the arches of the ossuary's narthex. It is believed that the founder of Tarnovo Literary School and last patriarch of the mediaeval Bulgarian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Euthymius, was exiled by the Turks and worked in the school of the monastery in the early 15th century.
Although the monastery survived the first waves of Turkish invasion in Bulgarian lands, it was then looted and destroyed, but restored near the end of the 15th century. The refectory, whose mural paintings by an anonymous painter bear a significant artistic value, was reconstructed in 1601 and the Church of Mary, still preserved today, was finished in 1604.
Bachkovo Monastery is the final resting place of both Patriarch Euthymius (1330–1404) and Patriarch Cyril (1953–1971).
