Temple , Architecture

Holy Intercession Krasnohirsky women's monastery was founded at the beginning of the 17th century, until 1790 it was a male monastery.

According to legends, a hermit monk from Constantinople settled in Krasna Hill near Zolotonosha in ancient times. After learning about this, the owner of the land, the Cossack Ivan Shebet-Slyuzhka, gave it to a monk to found a holy monastery. The first buildings were wooden.

The stone Transfiguration Cathedral was built in 1767-1771 according to the project of the Ukrainian architect Ivan Hryhorovych-Barsky. The Church of the Intercession (1859) and other buildings have also been preserved.

In 1922, the monastery was closed, all the shrines were transferred to the museum of the city of Cherkasy. Restored in 1941.

The icon of the Mother of God, named Dubenska, because it appeared on an oak tree, is considered the main shrine of the Holy Intercession Krasnohirsky Monastery.
