Saint Nicholas Monastery

Temple , Architecture

Saint Nicholas Mukachevsky Monastery is the main Orthodox shrine of the city of Mukachevo.

According to legend, the ancient monastery was founded in the 10th century by Kyiv monks who accompanied Yaroslav the Wise's daughter Anastasiya, who was given in marriage to the Hungarian king (caves and a healing spring have been preserved). Another legend tells about the victory of Prince Fedir Koriatovych (Koryatovych) in a fight with a snake. In 1360, the prince built a wooden church and cells at the place indicated to him by an angel who appeared above the river.

The Saint Nicholas Monastery was the residence of bishops in 1491-1772. Stone buildings in the Baroque style were erected in the 18th-19th centuries under the direction of architect Dmytro Rats, who is buried in the Assumption Cathedral.
