The '''Mirozhsky Monastery''', in [[Pskov]], Russia, is an important Orthodox [[monastery]] of medieval origins that is famous for its twelfth century frescos in the monastery’s Transfiguration Cathedral.

Traditionally, Mirozhsky Monastery was founded in the twelfth century, but it may have been established as early as the early 1010s based on a manuscript bearing a thanksgiving list inscription mentioning Prince Svyatopolk of Kiev who was excommunicated from the Church in 1015 for the murder of his brothers, [[Boris and Gleb]]. The monastery soon became one of the richest monasteries in Pskov as well as a significant cultural center. It is located on the left bank of the Velikaya River where it meets the smaller Mirozhka River. The oldest building of the monastery is the [[Cathedral of the Transfiguration of Our Lord]] commissioned in the late 1130s by [[Archbishop]] Nifont of [[Novgorod]] when he was in exile from Novgorod. The [[cathedral]] is in the typical cross form of Greek churches. The frescos of the Transfiguration Cathedral were painted by artists from Constantinople in mid-twelfth century. Some eighty percent of these frescos have survived the ravages of flooding by the adjacent Velikaya River. Currently, the cathedral is part of the Pskov State Museum-Reserve of History, Architecture, and Art. The cathedral and its frescos are included on the UNESCO list of outstanding architectural landmarks of the world. A second church, the Church St Stephan the Archdeacon, was added to the monastery complex in the seventeenth century.
