Saint Nicholas Monastery

Temple , Architecture

The ancient Lebedyn Monastery of Saint Nicholas is located east of the village of Lebedyn in a picturesque and secluded location surrounded by forests and lakes.

It was founded by the nuns Mahdalyna and Tryfiliyeya in 1779 on the lands of Prince Frantsysk Ksaveriy Lubomyrskyi. The healing spring discovered by Saint Opanas has been preserved. The people call the Spring Mahdalynskyi" in memory of the first abbess of the monastery.

Initially, all the monastery buildings were wooden, but in the 19th century most of them were replaced by stone ones. Among them are the Saint Nicolas Church (1800) and the Barbarian Church (1839), which was destroyed during the Soviet era, but was rebuilt again in the 1990s. In 1837, a new 34-meter-high brick bell tower was built in place of the wooden one, through which the main entrance to the monastery was arranged (only a third of it has survived).

In 1929, the monastery was closed, the "Red October" commune was established on its territory, then a boarding school for homeless children, and later for children of the repressed. During the Second World War, the German authorities revived the monastery, but in 1961 it was closed again. Valuables were taken away, the bells were handed over to the museum of the city of Cherkasy. A tuberculosis hospital was placed on the territory, and then a boarding school.

The revival of the Lebedyn Monastery began in 1992. Today, two churches, a chapel, cell buildings are located within the walls of the monastery, and a little further away - a complex of farm buildings. All buildings, except the northern wall, are in excellent condition. The monastery belongs to the Moscow Patriarchate.
