New Valamo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Valamo (Uusi Valamo in Finnish) is an Orthodox monastery in Heinävesi, Finland. The monastery was established in 1940, when 150 monks, evacuated from the Soviet occupied Valaam Monastery in Karelia, settled in Heinävesi. Having received evacuees from the Konevsky and Petsamo monasteries, it is now the only monastery of the Finnish Orthodox Church.
