General information about Hustynia

The small village of Hustinya on the Udai River is located near Pryluky.

It arose at the beginning of the 17th century when the defensive Hustinya monastery was founded here in 1600. The name is translated from Ukrainian as "thick forest" - the monastery was located on a wooded island formed by the bend of the Udai River and a swamp.

Such outstanding personalities as Petro Mohyla and Taras Shevchenko are related to the history of the monastery.

The monastery has repeatedly experienced destruction and desolation, but in recent years it has been revived and is now a center of attraction for pilgrims and tourists.

Невелике село Густиня на річці Удай розташоване поруч з Прилуками.

Виникло на початку XVII сторіччя при заснованому тут в 1600 році оборонному Густинському монастирі. Назва перекладається з української як "густий ліс" - монастир розташовувався на лісистому острові, утвореному вигином русла річки Удай і болотом.

До історії обителі мають відношення такі видатні особистості як Петро Могила та Тарас Шевченко.

Монастир неодноразово переживав руйнування і запустіння, однак в останні роки відроджений і тепер є центром тяжіння паломників і туристів.

Hustynia Holy Trinity Monastery

Temple , Architecture

The Hustynia Holy Trinity Convent was founded in 1600 by the Kyiv-Pechers monk Ioasaf on the lands of the Vyshnevetsky princes.

An island overgrown with dense forest, formed by the bend of the Uday River and a swamp, was chosen for the arrangement of the monastery. The location in a difficult terrain, as well as the system of defensive structures with a moat and walls gave the monastery an important strategic importance. It was used as a rebel base during popular uprisings against the nobility, as a result of which it was destroyed.

In 1639, Metropolitan Petro Mohyla of Kyiv took up the revival, and later his monastery came under the care of the Ukrainian hetmans.

On the territory there is a white stone five-headed Trinity Cathedral (1672-1676) in the Baroque style, founded by Hetman Ivan Samoylovych, a refectory of the Resurrection (former Assumption) Church (1695), built at the expense of Hetman Ivan Mazepa, as well as a soft pink Peter and Paul Church (1693-1708) with five sections.

Under Catherine II, the monastery was closed, but half a century later it was restored again at the expense of Prince Mykola Repnin (he is buried in the Resurrection Church).

The Hustin Chronicle (1600-1640) was created in the monastery - the first comprehensive work on the history of Ukraine, which combines the secular and hagiographic history of Rus. Taras Shevchenko visited here.

Excursions are conducted, the clothing of visitors must meet the requirements accepted in the temples of the Moscow Patriarchate.
