Valamo's Treasures - Guided Tour for Groups

Valamo's Treasures - guided tour takes you deeper into the world of the monastery's material treasures.

What is the story of the icon that led the monks to their new home in Papinniemi, Heinävesi, and what does it look like?

What was saved from Ladoga Valamo?

The valuable objects, vestments, and icons of the Monastery Museum contain meanings that may surprise.

The monastery's newest treasure is the cenotaph, or memorial ark, of the Venerable Sergius and Herman, brought to the winter church connected to the Main Church. This silver, holy object, made in 1823, was originally located in Ladoga Valamo on the spot where, according to tradition, the founders of the monastery are buried. After various stages, the cenotaph returned "home" in September 2025 and is now in its glory for all to admire.

For groups by prior reservation (min. 10 people) from September to March.
