The Valday Iversky Monastery is a monastery that played a significant role in the history of the Russian Orthodox Church. The monastery was one of the most influential in Russia during the 17th century, flourishing with the support of monks who backed Patriarch Nikon's reforms. Even today, the monastery maintains a quiet monastic life and is a valuable place to learn about the history of the Russian Orthodox Church.

The history of the monastery is closely connected with the reign of Patriarch Nikon, who was elected Patriarch of Moscow in 1652. Patriarch Nikon promoted reforms in the Orthodox Church and made the Valday Iversky Monastery a base for these efforts. The monastery flourished with the support of monks who backed Patriarch Nikon's reforms, becoming one of the most important monasteries in Russia during the 17th century.

The monastery's name originates from the Iviron Monastery, located on Mount Athos in Greece. The Valday Iversky Monastery housed a copy of the "Iverskaya" icon, which was sent from the Iviron Monastery, until the 1920s, but it is currently missing.
