Men's Orthodox monastery in Vitebsk

The Svyato-Troitsky Markov Monastery is one of two modern-day monasteries in Vitebsk. The second, for females, is Svyato-Dukhov Monastery. Markov Monastery was founded in the 14th–15th century. A legend indicates that a certain Mark found a place to stay alone and built a chapel there. Afterwards he was joined by like-minded persons, who formed the monastery. The monastery existed until 1576, when it was abolished. At that time, the monastery's Тrinity Church became a parish church. The monastery was revived in 1633 by a duke Lev Oginski.
