Best places: Monasteries in Ukraine

Ornate, white monastery with multicolored domes, river vistas & caves built into a wooded hillside.

Founded by the son of Yaroslav the Wise, Prince Vsevolod, this monastery is a symbol of Orthodoxy.

👍 We took a marshrutka from Lviv to get here. We were the first visitors to arrive on an overcast, slightly rainy day. There is a nice sense of peace, and history here. Take a look at the miracle water stream, just outside of the main church area.

👍👍 One of the most beautiful monasteries I've ever seen. So much beauty and faith in one place.

Site comprising of a cathedral, bell tower, refectory & gates, all built in Ukrainian Baroque style.

Centuries-old religious complex with golden-domed, red-brick buildings, a cemetery & a cafe.

Late-1800s abbey with a church full of ornate icons, including the revered Mother of God.

👍👍 Wonderful place. You get there and get lost in time. It is very quiet and calm here, beautiful and well-groomed, the pine air mixes with the sea. It's a pity, but not everywhere you can walk on the territory. I want to come back here from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Landmark 17th-century monastery offering ornate architecture, a rose garden & a popular bakery.

The temple itself, its decoration of incredible beauty, full-length wooden icons, carved iconostasis. On the territory there is a cafe...

👍👍 Quiet and peaceful place to relax, at any time of year. Lots of greenery and a lot of pleasant sensations are guaranteed !!!) 👍

🫤 A very nice painted place. Everything is well taken care of, it feels like they are well financed by the Moscow government.

Mountain monastery from the 17th century, with gold-topped domes & a sacred icon of the Virgin Mary.

👍👍 На початку 2000-х в монастирі відбувалась масштабна державна реставрація, адже саме тут 27 червня 2004 року відбулась зустріч президентів Кучми, Лукашенка і Путіна. Саме тому на реставрацію кинули багатезно коштів. Але рідко державна реставрація буває якісна, що ми тут і бачимо. Сьогодні монашеська...

Ornate religious buildings line this iconic monastic complex, known for its network of catacombs.
