Starobilsk Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Starobilsk, Ukraine.

The monastery stands on the left bank of the Aidar River, featuring a grand church completed in 1899 within its spiritual complex.

The religious institution began as an orphanage in 1851 before transforming into a women's monastery following Anna Bulych's commitment to monastic life in 1862.

The monastery serves as a spiritual center for the Orthodox community, maintaining religious services and traditions despite regional conflicts and changes.

Current access to the monastery requires careful consideration of regional security conditions due to military activities in the Luhansk Oblast.

During World War II, the monastery buildings functioned as an internment camp for Polish prisoners of war before their transfer to other locations.
