Kokalyane Monastery, Orthodox monastery near Kokalyane, Bulgaria.

The monastery compound includes a central one-nave church without a dome, two residential buildings, chapels, farmyards, and a bell tower from 2000.

The monastery foundations date back to the early 11th century during Tsar Samuil's rule, and the current church structure was rebuilt in 1896.

The Urvich Collection, discovered at the monastery, contains important religious texts dedicated to Archangels Michael and Gabriel by Kliment of Ohrid.
