Pochayiv Lavra, Orthodox monastery in Pochaiv, Ukraine
The monastery complex includes the Assumption Cathedral, Trinity Cathedral, and a 65-meter bell tower positioned on a 60-meter limestone hill.
The first documented mention of the monastery dates to 1527, with local accounts suggesting earlier origins during the Mongol invasions of the 13th century.
The monastery established a printing press in 1630, which distributed Orthodox theological literature throughout the regions of Galicia and Volhynia.
The monastery maintains regular prayer services, conducts guided tours, and provides accommodations for pilgrims seeking extended spiritual retreats.
A footprint in stone attributed to the Theotokos remains preserved within the monastery grounds, drawing numerous Orthodox faithful each year.
