Milkov Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Svilajnac, Serbia.

Milkov Monastery, also called Bukovica until the 18th century, stands in the Gložane area of Svilajnac municipality on the right bank of the Velika Morava. It is a women's Orthodox monastery of the Braničevo Eparchy, with a church dedicated to the Presentation of the Theotokos, monastic quarters built in 1968 and 1996, and a protected cultural monument.

The monastery was designated as a protected cultural monument of Serbia and registered under identification number СК 148. This official status reflects its historical importance to Serbian Orthodox religious heritage.

The monastery operates under the jurisdiction of the Eparchy of Braničevo and serves as a center for Eastern Orthodox worship and spiritual life. Visitors can observe how Orthodox traditions are practiced and maintained here today.

The monastery lies in the hamlet of Gložane, on the right bank of the Velika Morava, not in Svilajnac town itself; it is reached by road from Svilajnac, near the Lapovo railway junction. The church is dedicated to the Presentation of the Theotokos, and the monastic slava falls on 4 December, with the Transfiguration fair on 19 August drawing crowds.

The monastery keeps the memory of hieromonk Melentije Ristić, a relative of Karađorđe who supported the insurgents; his remains were moved to the monastery crypt, and his gravestone is still visited by people seeking help with illnesses, especially mental ones.
