Saint Nicholas Women’s Monastery
The Mykolaiv Mukachevo Women’s Monastery of the UOC MP is an Orthodox monastery on Chernechya Gora in Mukachevo (Transcarpathian region). It is under the leadership of the Mukachevo and Uzhgorod dioceses of the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate. Mykolaiv Church and cells are an architectural monument of national importance. According to legends, it was founded in the 11th century. The first written references to the monastery date back to the 14th century. At first it was a men’s Orthodox monastery. In 1491, it even became the residence of Transcarpathian Orthodox bishops.
From 1664 to 1946, the monastery was owned by the Greek Catholic monastic order of the Basilians. During its existence, the monastery was repeatedly destroyed during violent wars and fires. Modern buildings of the monastery were built in the XVIII-XIX centuries. The cells themselves were built in 1766-1772, and the St. Nicholas Church – in 1798-1804.
After the arrival of Soviet power in 1946, the monastery was forcibly handed over to the Orthodox and transformed from a men’s monastery into the Mykolaiv Women’s Monastery, which is still active today.
