A wooden skete, rebuilt in early 2000s in the traditions of early Russian wooden architecture of the 16th–17th centuries. Part of the Holy Mountains Lavra of the Holy Dormition.
St. George's Skete of Svyatogirsk Holy Dormition Lavra of Donetsk Diocese of Ukrainian Orthodox Church was built in 1862. It is a wooden structure. In 1867 the building housed a public school for forty boys, and was eventually turned into a parochial school. A hermitage church dedicated to the martyr St George the Victory-Bearer was recently built on the site, based on the original model of the Church of the Intercession of the Mother of God on the Nerl.
