Korsunka Monastery

Temple , Architecture

The Korsunka Monastery of the Mother of God near Kakhovka was founded in 1785 on the lands of Prince Potemkin Tavriyskyi as a co-religionist (Old Believer) monastery.

According to legend, children found an icon of the Mother of God at this place, and when they tried to take it away, the icon became heavy and did not budge, thus indicating the location of the future abode.

By 1848, when the monastery became Orthodox, the complex already included 5 stone churches, the first of which was consecrated in 1802, a refectory, a dormitory with cells.

Before the Bolshevik coup of 1917, the Korsunka Men's Monastery, along with the Byzyukiv Men's Monastery and the Annunciation Women's Monastery, was one of the three most respected monasteries of the Kherson Diocese. During Soviet times, the monastery was closed, the churches were destroyed. Parts of the walls, the western gate surmounted by a baroque pediment, and the round northeastern tower with a tented finish have survived. The monks returned here only in 1999. Work is underway to revive the monastery.
