Trinity Derman Monastery is an ancient Orthodox monastery with a pronounced defensive character.
The Derman Monastery was founded on the spurs of the Mizoch Range at the end of the 15th century by Prince Vasyl Ostrozky. It served as the country residence of the prince, in connection with which fortifications were erected - a stone castle surrounded by walls with loopholes and a moat with water. The entrance was guarded by a massive gate tower, later transformed into the bell tower of the monastery.
Later, the Trinity Church and monastery cells were built by Vasyl-Kostyantyn Ostrozky.
In 1575-1576, the Derman monastery was managed by the first printer Ivan Fedorov, in 1602 a printing house and a religious school were opened.
In 1627-1633, the abbot of the monastery, which became Greek-Catholic, was Meletiy Smotrytskyi, the author of "Slavic Grammar".
In the 19th century, the Russian government took the monastery from the Greek Catholics and handed it over to the Orthodox monks from Ostroh.
Currently, the Derman Monastery is active and belongs to the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate. The complex includes the Trinity Cathedral, the Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, the Church of Fedir Ostrozky. A residential building with a church in honor of Saint Innocent of Irkutsk is under construction.
