Kopilovtsi monastery, Orthodox monastery in Kopilovtsi, Bulgaria.
Kopilovtsi Monastery is an Orthodox monastery in southwestern Bulgaria constructed with traditional Bulgarian stonework architecture and contemporary building methods. The religious complex features elements typical of regional monastic design combined with modern construction standards.
The monastery was established in 2003 as part of renewed interest in religious institutions across southwestern Bulgaria. Its founding marked a period of spiritual revival in the region following broader changes in the country.
The monastery is dedicated to Saint Ivan of Rila, an important figure in Bulgarian Orthodox tradition. Visitors can experience the spiritual focus of the community through the chapel and its role in local religious life.
The monastery is accessible by road from Kyustendil Municipality and welcomes visitors during regular prayer times. Planning your visit around the daily schedule of worship services will help you experience the site respectfully.
The monastery ranks among Bulgaria's newest religious foundations, entirely constructed in the 21st century. This recent creation sets it apart from the many centuries-old monastic complexes found elsewhere in the region.
