Bizyukov monastery

The monastery includes five churches, an Ascension Cathedral, and extensive structures built with red brick in traditional architectural design at the banks of Dnipro River.

Founded on December 4, 1803, the monastery replaced the earlier Novogrigorievsky hermitage following a decree by Tsar Alexander I to establish a new religious center.

The monastery functions as a center for Orthodox Christian services, sacred rites, and missionary courses, maintaining religious education traditions in southern Ukraine.

Visitors can access underground passages, explore preserved ruins of old temples, and examine cave cells within the monastery complex during guided tours.

The monastery contains kilometer-long underground passages and caves that extend into the slopes along the Dnipro River, possibly created by Cossack groups.
