Chernigovsky Skit, Orthodox monastery in Sergiyev Posad, Russia
The Chernigovsky Skit complex includes a main temple, underground caves with chapels, and a five-tier bell tower near a forest lake.
The monastery was established in 1844 by Archimandrite Anthony with the blessing of Metropolitan Filaret as a branch of the Trinity Sergius Lavra.
The monastery houses two venerated copies of the Chernigov Icon of the Mother of God and contains the tombs of philosophers Konstantin Leontiev and Vasily Rozanov.
Visitors can access the underground caves and monastic cells exclusively through guided tours conducted by monks, with specific dress code requirements for both men and women.
The underground section features a network of caves modeled after the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, including a subterranean church dedicated to the Bodiless Powers.
