Isakovsky Skete, Orthodox skete on Solovetsky Island, Russia.
The Isakovsky Skete stands as a monastic settlement with traditional Orthodox architecture situated along the northern coast of Solovetsky Island.
This religious complex developed through centuries as part of the monastic expansion on Solovetsky Island, contributing to the spread of Orthodox Christianity in northern Russia.
Monks at Isakovsky Skete maintain Orthodox Christian traditions through daily prayers, religious ceremonies, and the creation of religious artifacts according to ancient methods.
