Nativity of Holy Virgin Horodyshche Monastery

Temple , Architecture

The Nativity of the Virgin Horodyshche Men's Monastery was founded in Horodyshche in 1538 by Prince Bohush Koretsky, the founder of the famous Korets Women's Monastery.

The wooden Orthodox monastery burned down in 1745. In its place, in 1746-1782, the Princes of Lubomyrski built a Catholic monastery of the Discalced Carmelites with a church. In 1777, the monastery became a Greek-Catholic Basilian monastery, and in 1832, after the second partition of Poland, Orthodox monks returned to Horodyszcz and re-consecrated the monastery in the name of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos. The church was rebuilt into the Church of the Holy Virgin. In 1902, the Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist was built.

The monastery was closed during the Soviet rule, but briefly resumed its activities during the German occupation. The rest of the time on its territory was first a sanatorium of the Central Committee of LKSMU, then a boarding school, then a psychiatric hospital.

The revival began in 1996. It belongs to the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate.
