Motronynskyi Monastery

The Motronynskyi Women's Monastery of the Holy Trinity (Ukrainian: Мотронинський Свято-Троїцький жіночий монастир, romanized: Motronynskyi Sviato-Troitskyi zhinochyi monastyr) is a convent of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) located in the Kholodnyi Yar forest in Ukraine's Cherkasy Oblast.

The Motronynskyi Monastery was created at some point prior to 1568,[1] though the history of a religious community in the area dates back to the 12th century.

[2] During the Ruin, the monastery was destroyed by the Ottoman Empire, Crimean Khanate, and Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

[1] The monastery played an important part in the religious life of southern Kyiv region during its early existence, and it was an organisational centre during the Koliivshchyna uprising.

Following the Russian Revolution and the Ukrainian–Soviet War, the monastery was initially allowed to continue operating, but with 250 dessiatinas (273.13 hectares) confiscated by the Soviet government.
