Bila Krynytsia Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Bila Krynytsia, Ukraine
The monastery stands within the Chernivtsi Oblast region near the Romanian border, featuring traditional Eastern Orthodox architectural elements and religious symbols throughout its grounds.
Established in 1785, the monastery became the central headquarters of the Belokrinitskaya Hierarchy from 1846 to 1940, serving Old Believers who separated from the Russian Orthodox Church.
The monastery maintains Eastern Orthodox traditions through regular religious services, ceremonies, and gatherings for the local Lipovan community and visiting Orthodox Christians.
The monastery complex is located at coordinates 47.977028 latitude and 25.883472 longitude, approximately 45 kilometers from the district center of Chernivtsi Oblast.
The monastery's chalky water wells gave the village its name Bila Krynytsia, which translates to 'whitish well' in the Ukrainian language.
