Reference: The Ugolsky Monastery in the village of Ugolsky in Transcarpathia is one of the oldest Orthodox monasteries in the region, founded in the pre-Mongol period. The first written mention dates back to 1558, when the ambassadors of the Moscow Tsar Ivan IV the Terrible, returning from Constantinople, described the monastery and three mineral springs nearby. After being closed during the Soviet era, the monastery was revived in 1990 as the Assumption Orthodox Convent.
