Єлецький Успенський монастир у Чернігові засновано в XI сторіччі чернігівським князем Святославом Ярославовичем (1027-1076 роки) як заміська князівська резиденція.

Відновлений у 1445-1495 роках після монголо-татарської навали. Збереглися печери давньоруського періоду. Після реконструкції XVII століття архітектурний ансамбль набув рис українського бароко: Успенський собор (XII століття), 36-метрова надбрамна дзвіниця, Петропавлівська церква з трапезною, келії, усипальниця Лизогубів, дерев'яний будинок архімандрита Феодосія Углицького (1688 рік).

В суворому інтер'єрі собору збереглися фрагменти старовинних фресок.

Єлецький Успенський монастир входить до складу Національного архітектурно-історичного заповідника "Чернігів стародавній".
