Свято-Миколаївський пустельний Самарський чоловічий монастир - головна святиня запорозьких козаків.

Перша церква зі шпиталем та школою була збудована запорожцями на острові між річкою Самарою та її закрутом Самарчиком ще в 1576 році. З 1602 року святиня перетворена на монастир з притулком для відставних літніх козаків, проте офіційною датою заснування вважається 1672 рік.

Під час турецької війни були споруджені укріплення. Миколаївська церква в стилі бароко збудована в 1782-1787 роках.

У 1930-х роках Самарський монастир був закритий, у ньому розмістили будинок для літніх людей, потім інтернат для розумово відсталих.

У 1993 році повернуто православній церкві. Головна святиня - Охтирська ікона Божої Матері, що називається "Самарською".
