Monastic pillowcase

Monastic navolok is a unique historical and natural place of Kandalaksha. There are several historical monuments at once, and from here you can enjoy beautiful views of the mouth of the Niva River and the Kandalaksha Bay of the White Sea.

Navolok (cape) is called Monastic, because it was here that a monastery was founded in the XVI century, which ceased to exist in the middle of the XVIII century. Only the foundation of the church has survived to this day. In 2003, in the part of the foundation where the altar of the church was previously located, a wooden Cross of Worship was installed in memory of the destruction of the Kandalaksha monastery in 1589.

This is a favorite place of citizens and tourists, here lovers of both beach and active recreation, and those who are interested in history, and connoisseurs of red book plants will find something to do.
