The Saint Nicholas Monastery (Greek: Μονή Αγίου Νικολάου) is a monastery in Spata, Achaea, Greece, that was founded at the end of the 18th century, [1] by a monk of the Monastery of Pammegiston Taxiarchon of Aegialia and of which it was a metochion for several years.
In August 1930, the monastery was closed, after which many icons and paintings were dismantled by local residents. In 1934, the painting St Nicholas of Myra was discovered in the residence of the chairman of the local council in Lyptsi. The chairman subsequently failed to return the painting promptly, instead concealing it in a storage room.
