The Kimbarowka Monastery (Vallis umbrosa; Ciemna dolina) was a Cistercian priory founded in 1711 by the Vistychy Monastery ( Polish : Wistycze) near Brest (Belarus) in the Kimbarowka municipality on the Pripyat of the city of Mazyr in Belarus.

history

The monastery, donated by the Kiev cupbearer Sigismund Szukszta, which was recognized by the Polish estates in 1717 and which, through its founding monastery and Wąchock monastery, is included in the filiation of the Morimond primary abbey , was subordinated to the Oliva and Pelplin monasteries by the general chapter in 1758 . In 1743, the nunnery of the Vallis angelica monastery (Anielska dolina) belonging to the Cistercian order was founded in Kimbarowka . Kimbarowka Monastery merged with the other two Cistercian monasteries and the Benedictine monasteries in what was then Lithuania, which had become Russian, to form a special congregation, which in 1811 also joined a Camaldolese monastery and later a Carthusian monastery. The monastery existed until 1842, but the monks only left it in 1864 when they moved to the Benedictine monastery in Horodyszcze, while the prior and seven other monks were exiled to the Amur . In the Second World War, a school and a boarding school were established. In 1990 the church was returned to the Roman Catholic cult .
