The Donskoy Starocherkassk Convent (Russian: Старочеркасский монастырь в честь Донской иконы Божией Матери) ― an Orthodox monastery in the stanitsa of Starocherkasskaya, Aksaysky District of Rostov Oblast, Russia.
[1] The monastery is centered on the katholikon built between 1756 and 1761 by ataman Stepan Efremov to serve as his house church.
Initially the monks settled in Starocherkassk in a rented private house and did restoration works of Don Church.
[2] The first prior of the revived monastery was Archimandrite Modest (Potapov) (1926 ― 2002), who took the veil from his confessor Metropolitan Zinovy (Mazhuga), who was canonized as a local saint.
[2] On the left to the choir in the monastery church there is the icon of St. Dimitry of Rostov, the patron of Don.
