Zhovkva and Krekhiv Monastery
Trip to Zhovkva
The residence of King of Poland John (Jan) III Sobieski. The city of craftsmen. The ideal Renaissance city. There is a lot to be said for Zhovkva, but it’s better to see it firsthand. The historic architectural ensemble of heritage Rynok (Market) Square, the XVIth century Castle, gorgeous monasteries, and the XVIIth century St. Lawrence Catholic Church are Zhovkva’s most famous must-see attractions. Besides, Renaissance Synagogue is worth special attention. In total, the small historic city center comprises fifty local, national and even global level landmarks!
Tour to the Krekhiv Monastery
St. Nicolas Monastery in Krekhiv (XVII-XVIII cent.) is famous for wonder working icons and is one of ancient mass pilgrimage places. There is a healing spring in Krekhiv that is a very popular tourist destination. Yoil and Sylvester, monks of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra (Monastery of the Caves) are considered to be the founders of the Krekhiv Monastery. They settled in a rock-cut cave in 1613. After a while, the number of monks increased and they built the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul near the cave; later, the Church of the Transfiguration and the Troitska (Holy Trinity) Church were built. Later on, the Bell Tower and monk’s cells were built.
