    Tips

    When entering the church, certain dress codes must be observed, and photography is prohibited!
    The Pühtitsa nunnery was built in 1891 in the center of Kuremäe (German: Püchtitz). It is the only Russian Orthodox nunnery in operation in Estonia. In the old days, this was a holy place for Estonians, as a so-called sacrificial spring rises under the mountain. The spring water is still said to have healing properties today. You can also bathe in its refreshing water if you wish.

    The monastery gates are open to visitors, you can walk around the grounds (flower beds and parkland) and observe everyday life in the monastery. Those interested can book a guided tour with the nuns, during which you can also visit the monastery complex and the various churches located there, which are otherwise not open to the public (Visit Estonia).
