The skete is located on the outskirts of the village of Odrynki in the Kudak forest. You can reach the skete by two roads, but only one can be reached by car.
It is the only Orthodox skete in Poland (Skete of St. Anthony and Theodosius of Kiev-Pechersk). It was established in 2009 and is part of the Warsaw-Bielsk diocese of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church.
The choice of Odrynki as the location for the construction of the skete was related to the fact that there was an Orthodox monastery of the Ascension of the Lord in this town. It was probably established in the first half of the 17th century and was dissolved in 1824. This monastery was subordinate to the monastery of the Holy Spirit in Vilnius.
The ceremonial consecration of the skete took place on September 15, 2009. The Divine Liturgy was led by Metropolitan Sawa, who called the creation of the hermitage a "miracle of the 21st century". This day was special and historic, because it was the first Holy Liturgy in 500 years that took place in this very place.
