Skite des heiligen Spyridon, Orthodox monastery in Geilnau, Germany
The Serbian Orthodox monastery Skite des heiligen Spyridon sits along the Lahn River in Rhineland-Palatinate, featuring a converted chapel in a former guesthouse building.
Founded in 1989, the monastery gained its official status in the 1990s when Serbian Orthodox Bishop Konstantin elevated the community to a Skite designation.
The monastery conducts services in multiple languages including German, Serbian, Church Slavonic, Greek, English, and French to accommodate diverse worshippers.
Adult men, regardless of their Orthodox affiliation, can arrange temporary stays at the monastery to experience monastic life through advance registration.
The monastery maintains a secondary location in Unterufhausen, Osthessen, which includes a church constructed according to Serbian architectural principles.
