Skit du Saint-Esprit
Skit du Saint-Esprit, Orthodox monastery in Le Mesnil-Saint-Denis, France
The Skit du Saint-Esprit contains three churches with Byzantine architecture, featuring a green dome and blue bulbs in the Bois de Fay forest.
Father André Serguienko established the monastery in 1938 after purchasing land through local authorities to create a meditation space away from Paris.
Father Gregory Krug created numerous frescoes and icons within the monastery walls, contributing to Orthodox art preservation during the 20th century.
The monastery remains active with regular liturgical services and visitors can schedule guided tours through the Mesnil Saint Denis Tourist Office.
Individual hermit cells surround the main buildings, allowing five monks to live separately while maintaining their Orthodox religious practices.
