Bukovo monastery

Bukovo monastery is a Serbian Orthodox religious building situated on the slopes of the Bratujevac mountain, surrounded by forests and vineyards. The structure contains a church with multiple interior layers and stands within a natural setting of green hillsides.

The monastery was founded in the time between the late 13th and mid-14th centuries during the reign of a powerful Serbian ruler. Over the centuries, the site underwent several construction phases and decorative additions to its interior spaces.

The monastery draws its name from a nearby hillside and serves as a place of worship and pilgrimage for Orthodox faithful. The church walls show local artistic traditions through their painted surfaces, reflecting different periods of religious devotion.

The monastery is located about 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) west of Negotin along the main road and is easily accessible from town. Visiting during daylight hours allows you to see the church interior and surrounding natural landscape in good light.

The monastery operates a wine cellar built in the late 1800s that produces a rare local red wine variety found in the surrounding region. This practice connects religious tradition with regional farming and shows how the site remains part of the local community.
