Florivsky Convent, Eastern Orthodox monastery in Podil, Ukraine
The Florivsky Convent features a main Ascension Cathedral built in 1732, with multiple churches and buildings arranged around a central courtyard.
Founded in 1566 by Protopope Yakov Gulkevich, the monastery gained prominence in 1711 when nuns from the closed Ascension Convent moved there.
The monastery houses numerous religious artifacts, manuscripts, and traditional Orthodox icons created by the resident nuns throughout its existence.
The monastery complex opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available through advance reservations at the administrative office.
This female monastery survived multiple fires in its wooden structures before rebuilding in stone, starting with the refectory church in 1695.
