Krupa monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery near Krupa River, Croatia

The monastery complex stands along the Krupa River, featuring Gothic-style windows and a large unfinished belfry from the 1950s construction project.

Founded in 1317 with support from Serbian King Milutin, the monastery underwent renovations by King Stefan Decanski and received endowments from Saint Angelina of Serbia.

Cretan priest Ioannis Apakas created four throne icons for the iconostasis in 1600, while painter Georgije Mitrofanovic decorated the walls between 1620 and 1622.

The monastery, located at Manastir Krupa 23450 in Krupa, Croatia, requires visitors to verify access times before planning their visit to the religious site.

Serbian writer Dositej Obradovic resided at the monastery during the 1760s, while author Simo Matavulj spent his early years there in the 1860s.
