Saint Michael's Pelagie Monastery

Temple

Saint Michael's Pelagia Monastery adorns the rocky banks of the Inрul River on the territory of the "Pryinhulskyi" regional landscape park.

In the center of the complex stands the church of Saint Pelagia, built in 1896-1904 by the brothers Andriy and Mykhaylo Durilin, following the will of father Isidore Durilin, in memory of their mother Pelagia, who died early. An unknown German architect used the modern style fashionable at the turn of the century, embodying it in the "a la Russe" style. The twelve-headed church with domes was crowned with mirror crosses. There are three thrones in the church: Saint Archstrategist Michael, Saint Pelagia and Martyr Andriy Stratilatus. Before the Soviet-Ukrainian war, a parish school operated at the Pelagie church.

During the period of Soviet power, the temple was looted, the premises were used as a warehouse.

In 1994, an Orthodox nunnery of the Moscow Patriarchate was founded at the restored Pelagia Church. The restoration of the temple continues. The construction of the winter church, which is adjacent to the nuns' cells, has been completed.
