Baturyn Krupytsky Saint Nicholas Monastery

Temple , Architecture

The Baturyn Krupytsky Saint Nicholas Monastery was probably founded before the Tatar-Mongol invasion.

It is believed that the first temple was built at the place of the appearance of the icon of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker (the present territory of the hermitage).

According to legend, it was called Krupytsky after the monks were saved from starvation during the Mongol-Tatar siege thanks to the cereal that fell from the sky.

In the 17th century, the monastery was revived as a men's monastery, was under the patronage of Ukrainian hetmans and Russian tsars. It was burned by the Russians during the Baturyn massacre in 1708, but was soon revived.

In 1922, the Krupytsky Monastery was closed, all buildings were dismantled.

In 1999, a new stage of revival began, the accidentally found miraculous icon of Saint Nicholas was returned to the church. It is part of the National Historical and Cultural Reserve "Hetman's Capital".
