Katerlezsky Saint George Monastery, Orthodox monastery on Saint George Mountain in Voikove, Ukraine.

The monastery complex includes stone buildings, a bell tower, and religious structures situated on an elevated position overlooking the surroundings.

Founded in 1857 by Archbishop Innocent of Kherson and Taurida, the monastery closed in 1923 during Soviet times and reopened for worship in 1996.

The monastery maintains Orthodox Christian traditions through regular services, religious ceremonies, and the preservation of sacred artifacts and icons.

The monastery welcomes visitors daily, with accommodation available for pilgrims and a seven-meter Orthodox cross marking the entrance to the complex.

Local tradition tells of a Greek shepherd who witnessed multiple appearances of a horseman on a white steed at this location in the late 18th century.
