Lintulsky Convent of the Holy Trinity


Subject / Religion. Church/Monasteries and convents

The Lintula Convent of the Holy Trinity (the settlement of Ogonki, the Vyborg distrikt). It was the first convent in Finland. The convent was founded by the privy Councillor F.P. Neronov in 1894 in the estate Lintula bought for this aim. The wooden church of the Holy Trinity (the architect E.L. Morozov) was built in 1894-1895. The community consisted of 26 nuns (first nuns came from the Kazansky Mokshansky Convent of the Penza Gubernia) was opened on 10 August 1896. Public religious services were performed by St. John of Kronstadt and Antony (Vadkovsky), the archbishop of Finland. In September 1905 the community received the monastery status. In the 1900s two-storeyed wooden buildings for cells and orphan's home were built. In 1911 the domestic church of St. Martyr Sophia and St. Prince Vladimir was opened in 1911. The main church was burned in 1916, the new wooden on the stone base church of the Trinity in the New Russian Style (the architect I. Bakh) was buit in 1919 on the place of the former church using the money of Prince I.N. Saltykov. In 1939 in connection with the beginning of the Soviet-Finland war all 40 nuns went away to Finland. Only the hallowed Jerusalem Icon of the Mother of God was managed to salvage. Buildings of the church and orphan's home were destroyed during the war in 1939-1944; the cells and refectory have been survived. In 1946 nuns moved into the village Palloki (Finland) where the new church of the Holy Trinity was consecrated in 1973.
