The Pidhirtsi Annunciation Monastery (also known as the Plisnesk Annunciation Monastery; Ukrainian: Підгорецький благовіщенський монастир, Пліснеський благовіщенський монастир) is a male monastery of the Order of St. Basil the Great, located near the village of Pidhirtsi in the Zolochiv Raion of the Lviv Oblast, on the site of the historic Plisnesk.[1] It was originally Orthodox, but later became part of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.[2]
History
[edit]According to church legend, the monastery was founded in 1180 by Princess Olena Vsevolodivna, although documentary evidence of its existence only appears from the 17th century.[1] The existence of the monastery in ancient Kievan Rus' times is confirmed by archaeological excavations, which revealed the remains of four temple buildings dating from different periods:[2]
- In the Olenyn Park tract (12th–13th centuries)
- In the Seredhoroddia tract (13th–14th centuries)
- On the territory of the modern monastery cemetery (15th–17th centuries)
- Opposite the modern monastery bell tower (17th–18th centuries)
At the end of the 16th century, hermit monks began to settle near the ancient church. The official founding of the Orthodox monastery took place in 1659–1663.[1]
In 1694, a miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary was brought to the monastery from the village of Holubytsia (now in the Zolochiv Raion), and it was crowned in 1754. In 1700, the monastery joined the Union together with the entire Lviv diocese, and after 1739, it joined the Ruthenian Congregation (province) of the Basilian Order.[1][2]
Important historical documents have been preserved: the monastery chronicle (covering the years 1583–1729) and the monastery memorial book (started in 1710), to which the name of Taras Shevchenko was added in 1861.[2]
In 1946, the monastery was closed by the Soviet authorities. Its buildings were used as a tuberculosis sanatorium. Church services continued in the temple until 1960. The monastery was revived in 1990–1991.[1][2]
Architecture
[edit]At the beginning of the 18th century, there were several wooden churches on the monastery grounds (Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Beheading of John the Baptist, St. Onuphrius), as well as, presumably, the stone Church of the Transfiguration, which was dismantled in 1706.[1][2]
After the fire of 1726, the stone church of St. Onuphrius was built between 1726 and 1750, which has survived to this day. This building is an example of Baroque basilica architecture, with three naves and one dome. The iconostasis, designed by architect Paweł Giżycki in 1754, is of particular artistic value. Adjacent to the church on the northwest side is a house of cells, built in 1771–1786 by architect Wenzlawski.[1][2]
