Epiphany skit
The Epiphany skete (Patriarch Nikon's skete) is located in the city of Istra in the Moscow Region and belongs to the Resurrection New Jerusalem Monastery..This is a small four-level building on the banks of the Istra River, erected in 1657 behind the wall of the monastery, about 500 meters from the entrance to it. The church, the patriarchal cells and outbuildings are united under one roof.
Unlike the temples of the monastery, the skete is decorated very modestly - elegant tiles, window frames and cornices.
Originally, deserts were located on an island formed by the bend of a river and a channel connected to it, from which only a moat now remained. This place served the patriarch as a place of solitude for prayers and reflections. The interior of the monastery was not preserved.
Now the monastery is being restored, so it is still impossible to visit it, but you can walk around the monastery and see this unusual building.
