Holy Transfiguration Monastery

Temple , Architecture

The Holy Transfiguration Monastery in Holovchyntsi is one of the oldest Orthodox monasteries in Podillya.

The monastery was founded in 1540 by the crown field hetman Mykola Sinyavskyi. During the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, it was settled by the Basilians, and in 1795 it was returned to the Orthodox.

The monastery was closed for the first time in 1923, a shelter for homeless children was organized on the territory. During the Second World War, the activity of the monastery was briefly restored, but soon it was closed again. Until 1996, the buildings belonged to a children's boarding school.

Today, the monastery is being revived: the monastery church and residential building have been reconstructed, a new bell tower has been erected, the abbot's building has been rebuilt, an almshouse and a pilgrim hotel have been built.

On the territory of the Holy Transfiguration Monastery, there is a miraculous Onufriy Spring, and the miraculous image of Saint Onufriy the Great is preserved in the temple.
