This functioning Greek Orthodox monastery was originally established in the 1100s but tragically fell victim to destruction at the hands of the Soviet Union in the 1930s. However, its resilience prevailed, and today it proudly showcases its golden-domed basilica and stunning cathedral. One of the most striking features of this architectural marvel is its Golden Saint Barbara Icon Basilica. Adorned with ancient mosaics and golden screen icons, this sacred space exudes an aura of spirituality that captivates all who enter. The grandeur continues with towering steeples and spires that grace the facade Cathedral. As you explore this hallowed ground, you will come across a monument dedicated to Princess Olha (Olga) at Mykhaylivska Square.

Inside the monastery's walls lies another treasure: a Golden Jesus Icon Basilica that radiates divine beauty. These intricate works of art pay homage to both religious traditions and historical craftsmanship. Visiting St. Michaels Monastery offers not only an opportunity for spiritual reflection but also a chance to immerse oneself in Ukraine's rich cultural heritage.
