Abstract

The establishment of a monastery within the estate was closely connected with the expansion of the Chodkiewicz family residence at Gródek. Nearly all scholars who have studied this monastic centre identify 1498 as the year in which Aleksander Chodkiewicz, Voivode of Novogródek and Marshal of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, founded a monastic community near Gródek. A detailed analysis of already known documents, combined with the examination of newly discovered sources, makes it possible to thoroughly reassess the account of the origins of the Supraśl Lavra that has been repeated for more than three centuries.
