Saint Savvaty Skete, Orthodox skete on Solovetsky Island, Russia.
Saint Savvaty Skete stands within the northern landscape of Solovetsky Island, featuring traditional Russian Orthodox monastic architecture and wooden structures.
The skete originated in the early 15th century when Saint Sabbatius established a site for solitary prayer before the construction of Solovetsky Monastery.
The site maintains Eastern Orthodox traditions of silent prayer and contemplation, following practices established by Saint Sabbatius after leaving Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery.
Visitors reach the skete through boat transportation to Solovetsky Island, with guided tours available during the summer navigation season.
The skete holds two annual celebrations on September 27 and August 8, commemorating Saint Sabbatius's death and the translation of his relics.
