The Peryn Monastery, also known as the Peryn Men's Monastery of the Nativity of the Mother of God, was a monastery located in the Novgorod area of Peryn and operated from the 14th century until 1764. The first mention of it in the chronicles dates back to 1386, when the Novgorodians burned the monastery.

Today, the Peryn Monastery continues to exist and is located two kilometers from the Yuriev Monastery. In 1991, the Peryn Peninsula, along with the church and other buildings, was transferred to the Church, and in 2001 the church was consecrated. Archaeological excavations conducted in 1951-1952 confirmed the existence of an ancient pagan shrine on the territory of the monastery. In the 1230s, the wooden church of the Nativity of the Mother of God was replaced by a stone one, and it is likely that the monastery was founded around that time. However, it is first mentioned in the chronicles only in 1386.

In 1528, a wooden Trinity church with a refectory was built in the monastery, which did not last even a hundred years: in the early 17th century, the monastery was looted and burned by the Swedes. By 1617, its condition was dire: the church was destroyed, there were no cells or fences, and only one elder, Maxim, remained in the monastery with a cross and five books. In 1634, the monastery was attached to the Yuriev Monastery. In 1764, the Peryn Monastery was abolished, and its buildings, except for the church, were moved to the Yuriev Monastery. The skit, founded here in 1827 at the request of Archimandrite Photy, lived according to the rules of ancient monasteries, and women could visit it only on the feast day of the Nativity of the Mother of God.

The first head of the skit was Hieromonk Anikita Shirinets-Shikhmatov. In the 1830s-1840s, the skit was renovated and expanded: a brotherhood building and buildings for the head of the skit and the Yuriev archimandrite were constructed, as well as a bell tower on two stone pillars with six small bells and a fence.

After the revolution, the skit was closed. Its use in the 1920s remains unknown, and in the 1930s, a fishing cooperative was established on its territory. The bell tower and fence were dismantled to build an ice storage facility.

After World War II, fishing resumed in Peryn, and in the 1960s, a tourist base appeared on the site of the former skit. A dam was built, cabins for vacationers were constructed, the surroundings were landscaped, a dance floor was created, and a statue of Perun was installed.

Today, prayers are once again heard on the Peryn Peninsula. Not only pilgrims but also tourists come here, and now women can visit the skit year-round. The main attraction is the Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God, which was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1992. This church, the smallest stone church built before the Mongol invasion, has been restored to its original appearance, creating a bright impression.
