General information about Saint Anthony's Caves (Chernihiv)

Saint Anthony's Caves - the oldest shrine of Chernihiv is a part of the Trinity-Illinsky Monastery on the Boldyny Hills.

The first cave church and monastery was founded by Saint Anthony Pechersky in 1069, when he left the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, which he founded.

Through the Church of Sain Illia (XII century) you can get to the cave part (315 m), where there are underground churches of Saint Anthony, Saint Theodosius and Saint Nicholas Svyatosha.

On the hill above the monastery are the Slavic mounds Bezimenny and Hulbyshche, as well as the tomb of Mykhaylo Kotsyubynsky with a monument.

Archeological excavations continue in the Saint Anthony's Caves, and excursions are held.
