John the Theologian Khreshchatytsky Monastery is located on a high cliff above the Dniester, from where a breathtaking panorama of the surroundings opens up. According to legend, it was founded in the 17th century by Orthodox monks of the Manyavsky Skete, who fled from the Uniates from Galicia, near healing springs, over which a wonderful glow appeared on the night of the feast of St. John the Theologian. In 1768, at the expense of the Serbian merchant Teodor Pred, a monastery stone church was erected here, earlier a stone chapel was built over the source, from which a staircase leads to the church.

In 1786, the monastery was closed by the Austrian authorities, and the temple was converted into a parish. After the incorporation of Bukovina into Romania in 1918, the monastery was revived. Under Soviet rule, since 1962, the premises of the monastery served as a recreation center, and the source was used by a mineral water factory. In 1989 the monastery was returned to the Orthodox Church. Every year on the patronal feast, a religious procession is made from Chernivtsi to the monastery. Under the monastery mountain there is a karst cave where the monks who founded the monastery lived.
