The Russian Convent, also known as the “Gorny Convent,” is a Russian Orthodox monastery located on the southern side of Ein Kerem, a neighborhood in Jerusalem, Israel. The convent was founded in the late 19th century by Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, a member of the Russian royal family, and her husband, Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich.
The convent complex includes a church, a bell tower, a guesthouse, and other buildings. The church is dedicated to the Holy New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia, and it features beautiful icons and frescoes that were painted by Russian artists.
The convent’s history is closely linked to the turbulent events of the early 20th century. Grand Duchess Elizabeth was murdered by the Bolsheviks in 1918, and many of the other nuns and monks at the convent were also martyred during the Russian Revolution and its aftermath.
Today, the Russian Convent is an important site for Orthodox Christian pilgrims, who come to pray and reflect in the peaceful surroundings. Visitors can attend services at the church and explore the grounds, which include a garden and a cemetery where many of the martyred nuns and monks are buried.
The Russian Convent is also known for its hospitality and welcomes visitors of all faiths to stay in its guesthouse and learn more about its rich history and traditions.

Ottoman period
The Russian presence in the Holy Land was formed as the Russian Orthodox Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem. It represented the Russian Orthodox Church in the Holy Land starting from 1847.
The convent was established by the Russians in 1871, serving as a convent for nuns. It was named by the locals as Moskkubia (Al Moskovoia), after the capital of Russia (Moscow).
It is named “the Gorny Convent”, based on the Russian word meaning “mountainous”.
