St. Tryphon Monastery in Pechenga (Russian: Трифонов Печенгский монастырь; Finnish: Petsamon luostari) was for many centuries the northernmost monastery in the world. It was founded in 1533 by St. Tryphon, a monk from Novgorod. By 1572, the Pechenga Monastery counted about 50 brethren and 200 lay followers. In 1583 the wooden monastery was raided and burnt down by the Swedes. It is said that the raid claimed the lives of 51 monks and 65 lay brothers. In 1591 Tsar Fyodor I ordered to revive the monastery.
