Hustynja ( Ukrainian Густиня ; Russian Густыня Gustynja ) is a village in the south of the Ukrainian Oblast Chernihiv with 150 inhabitants (2001).
The locality belongs administratively to the district council of the village Samistja ( Замістя , ⊙ ) in the north of the Pryluky district . Hustynja is located on the right bank of the Udaj , a 327 km long right tributary of the Sula , 5 km northeast of the Samistja community center, 10 km northeast of the Pryluky district center and about 150 km southeast of the Chernihiv oblast center .
The village was founded in 1600 with the construction of a monastery, which was founded by monks from Mount Athos with the permission of the head of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra . They built the Hustynskyj Monastery ( Густинський монастир ) here until 1675, financed by Hetman Ivan Samojlowytsch , between the dense forest (hence the place name) and an island in the flood plain of the Udaj , and consecrated it in honor of the Holy Trinity .
The Orthodox Monastery is a unique architectural complex of the 17th century Baroque , and one of the most beautiful in the left bank of Ukraine . Taras Shevchenko made several watercolor sketches of the monastery during a visit to the monastery in 1845.
