Jurisdiction context: Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) -- the state-run Lavra reserve terminated the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate, UOC-MP)'s lease in March 2023 and evicted its monastic community; the OCU has since held services there, a transfer disputed in Ukrainian courts Guest housing in three buildings (No. 54, 56, 58) differing in room capacity/comfort; booking required in advance. As of this research one listed building-54 contact line is marked '(temporarily not working)'. The National Reserve reopened to visitors in a limited, inspected capacity after a Russian missile/drone attack on the night of 15 June 2026 damaged the complex; only the Near Caves, Great Lavra Bell Tower, and a few churches were operating normally per post-attack reporting.
General Serbian Orthodox monastic-stay custom: overnight stays require the blessing of the abbot/abbess, arranged in advance by phone or in person. At a men's monastery, male pilgrims may stay in the konak; women are typically directed to separate lodging nearby. A modest fee or donation is common but varies by monastery. This is general custom, not a monastery-specific guarantee.
