Main church

The atmospheric main church of the monastery is dedicated to the memory of the Transfiguration of Christ. Its temple feast, or praasnieka, is celebrated annually on the sixth of August.

Designed by architect Ivan Kudryavzev, the church, which represents the northern Russian stone church style, was consecrated on June 5, 1977. Similar single-domed, white brick churches can be seen in the Novgorod and Pskov regions, for example.

The majority of the icons in the main church date from the 18th and 19th centuries. There are no older Valamo artifacts, as fires and wars destroyed the monastery many times in previous centuries.

In addition to the icons, the church's handsome, 800-kilogram chandelier made of gilded bronze and a cabinet clock from the mid-19th century, whose ticking was previously heard in the altar of the lower church in Valamo, Ladoga, are also reminiscent of Valamo, Ladoga.

There is a wheelchair ramp at the entrance to the main church.
