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.
