GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT VISITING

Holy Wisdom ChurchNew Skete is located an hour northeast of Albany, New York, and approximately one-half hour northwest of Bennington, Vermont.   The Monastery is about four miles outside the village of Cambridge in the gentle and lovely Taconic Mountains, which geologically sideswipe the Green Mountains of Vermont, just north of the Berkshire hills of Massachusetts.  Should you ever find yourself near our back door to New England, you are most welcome to visit and pray with us, or simply to have some quiet time for reflection.

Our grounds are open every day but Monday. Guided visits to the church for religious, school, or senior groups are possible with advance notice. Click on Map for Larger Version
