The Pokrovsky Nunnery in Kyiv, Ukraine, is a Russian Revival religious complex founded in 1889 by the Grand Duchess Alexandra of Russia, widow of Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaevich. Known in full as the Nunnery of the Protection of the Mother of God—"Pokrovsky" meaning Intercession—the monastery developed substantially during the final decade of the nineteenth century under her patronage. The complex includes the Cathedral of St. Nicholas and remains under the control of the Kyiv Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate.
