Epiphany Convent, Orthodox monastery in Kremenets, Ukraine
The Epiphany Convent is an Orthodox religious complex in Kremenets featuring traditional church architecture with a bell tower and multiple religious buildings on its grounds. The layout includes several structures typical of a monastic site, with religious functions distributed across the property.
The monastery was founded in the 17th century and initially operated as a printing establishment producing important early religious texts. Throughout the 20th century it underwent significant changes including a shift to a female community and temporary closure.
The convent functions as an active Orthodox worship center where daily services draw local worshippers and visitors can observe living religious traditions. The sisters maintain monastic practices that shape the spiritual rhythm of the community and connect to broader Orthodox customs.
The convent is located on Dubenska Street within the town and is accessible by local transport. Visitors should remember this is an active place of worship where modest clothing and respectful conduct are expected.
The convent houses a venerated icon that became an important symbol of religious renewal following its reopening. The return of this sacred object marked a turning point in the site's story after decades of disruption.
