Transfiguration monastery, Orthodox monastery in Novhorod-Siverskyi, Ukraine.
The Transfiguration Monastery stands on elevated ground with defensive walls, towers, and a moat surrounding its Ukrainian Baroque structures.
Founded in 1033 by Prince Mstislav Tmutarakansky, the monastery complex includes buildings from different periods, including the Transfiguration Cathedral constructed between 1791 and 1796.
The monastery houses religious artifacts and exhibitions in the Abbot's House, presenting the historical development of Orthodox traditions in northern Ukraine.
Visitors can access the monastery grounds daily, with guided tours available in Ukrainian through the museum located within the two-story Abbot's House.
