Batheos Rhyakos Monastery was a Byzantine-era monastery near medieval Trigleia in Bithynia (modern Tirilye in Turkey). It is known locally as Aya Sotiri.
The church of the monastery had an east-west oriented rectangular naos, with a rounded apse in the north part of the east end and a narthex at the west end. The buildingâÂÂs exterior dimensions measured 16 by 9 meters.
In the 1880s, the monastery was described as âÂÂneglected,â with only the four walls of the church and some scattered columns remaining. However, In 1910, it seems to have been described as âÂÂrecently restored.âÂÂ
When the area was cleared of brush and mapped in 1987, the monastery was in ruins and mostly rubble; then, in 1988, the landowner cleared the area with heavy machinery and built a shed. In 2017, piles of stones from the walls remained.
The monastery is also known as the Monastery of the Transfiguration of Christ the Savior (Greek: ÃÂÿýî ÃÂõÃÂñüÿÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂõÃÂàãÃÂÃÂîÃÂÿàçÃÂùÃÂÃÂÿà), the Soteros or Savior Monastery (ÃÂÿýî ãÃÂÃÂîÃÂÿÃÂ).
