Trinity Monastery, Orthodox monastery complex in Chernihiv, Ukraine

The Trinity Monastery stands on Boldyni Hills with seven pear-shaped domes and features a combination of Ukrainian and Western European architectural elements.

Founded in 1649 by Bishop Lazar Baranovych, this monastery replaced an earlier religious site from the 11th century that was destroyed by Mongol forces.

The monastery contained a printing press and an extensive library of 11,000 books, making it a major center of Orthodox education in the 17th century.

Visitors can explore the preserved caves, Trinity Cathedral, Church of Saint Elijah, and the five-story bell tower reaching 58 meters in height.

The refectory with Vvedenskaya Church remains the only surviving example of a twin-domed dining hall structure on Ukraine's left bank territory.
