Pokrovskyi Monastery in Kharkiv, Orthodox monastery in Kharkiv, Ukraine

The monastery complex includes the Pokrovsky Cathedral, built in 1689, featuring traditional Ukrainian Baroque architecture with ornate decorations and distinct domed structures.

Founded in 1726 by Bishop Epiphanius Tykhorsky, the monastery served as the location for the Kharkiv Collegium, an important educational institution of that time.

The monastery houses the Ozeryanskaya Icon of the Mother of God, brought to the complex in 1787, which remains a central religious artifact.

The monastery holds regular religious services, maintains educational programs, and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural monuments and religious heritage.

During the Second World War, the monastery experienced significant damage and underwent extensive restoration work between 1960 and 1965.
