Kitaevo Hermitage, Orthodox monastery in Holosiiv district, Kyiv, Ukraine
The Kitaevo Hermitage includes the Trinity Church, refectory, abbot's residence, and monastic cells within a forest setting near three lakes.
The monastery originated in 1716 and underwent construction of its main Trinity Church between 1763 and 1767 under architect Petro Neyelov and master Stepan Kovnir.
The monastery buildings represent Ukrainian Baroque architecture from the 18th century, with decorative elements typical of Orthodox religious structures of that period.
Located at 15 Kitayivska Street, the monastery stands 4.5 kilometers from Holosiivska metro station and maintains regular religious services for visitors.
The complex contains underground caves similar to those in Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, discovered in 1857 and used by monks for spiritual retreats.
