Manyava Skete, Eastern Orthodox church building in Manyava, Ukraine

The monastery complex contains wooden and stone buildings connected by walls and fortified with four defensive towers along the perimeter.

Founded in 1611 by Job of Manyava, the monastery operated until 1785 when the Austrian government closed it during Emperor Joseph II's religious reforms.

The monastery earned recognition as the Athos of the Carpathians due to its role in Orthodox spiritual education and connection to Mount Athos traditions.

Visitors can reach the monastery by taking a taxi from Ivano-Frankivsk to Manyava village, located 40 kilometers southwest of the city.

The monastery grounds integrate natural barriers formed by mountains and the Skitets River, which provided protection against historical threats.
