Golgotha Skete, Monastic skete on Anzersky Island, Russia.
The Golgotha Skete sits atop a hill on Anzersky Island, featuring white stone walls and traditional Orthodox architectural elements characteristic of northern Russian religious buildings.
The establishment of Golgotha Skete in 1713 marked a significant expansion of the Solovetsky Monastery complex, adding to the religious presence in the White Sea region.
Orthodox monks at Golgotha Skete maintain daily prayer rituals and religious ceremonies that follow centuries-old Russian Orthodox traditions throughout the ecclesiastical calendar.
Visitors can reach Golgotha Skete via boat transport to Anzersky Island from Solovetsky Island, with guided tours available during the summer navigation season.
The skete's position on the highest point of Anzersky Island at 107 meters above sea level provides views across the White Sea archipelago.
