Trinity Skete, Orthodox skete on Anzersky Island, Russia
Trinity Skete stands on the eastern part of Anzersky Island, featuring traditional Russian Orthodox architecture within the Solovetsky Monastery complex.
Established in 1620, the skete served as a religious retreat for monks seeking isolation and later became a refuge during Patriarch Nikon's church reforms.
The skete maintains Orthodox monastic traditions through daily prayers, communal meals, and manual labor activities that reflect early Christian community practices.
Visitors reach Trinity Skete by boat from the main Solovetsky Island, with guided tours available to explore the monastery grounds and buildings.
During the Soviet era, the skete underwent transformation into part of a concentration camp before returning to its religious function in 1990.
