Novotorzhsky Borisoglebsky Monastery is a man’s monastery in the Tver diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, located in the city of Torzhok, Tver Region. It is considered the oldest in the region.
The monastery was founded in 1038 by the boyar Ephraim, the former equestrian prince of Kiev Vladimir I Svyatoslavich. The reason that led the boyar to the foundation of the monastery was the assassination of Boris and Gleb by Svyatopolk, after which he decided to retire from social life and lay a monastery on the banks of the Tvertsa River [2].

Initially, the boyar Ephraim allegedly founded the monastery on a hill near the river, and in 1038 a temple was built [3], which was named Borisoglebsky in honor of Boris and Gleb and gave the name to the whole monastery. In historical sources, the first information about Torzhok appears in the middle of the XII century.
