Kumanica Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Vrbnica, Serbia

The monastery stands in the Lim River valley between Prijepolje and Bijelo Polje, near the railway line at the Serbia-Montenegro border.

The first written record of the monastery dates from 1514, with stone slabs found in ruins indicating construction between the 13th and 15th centuries.

The monastery treasury contains the Kumanica Four Gospels, a manuscript gifted by Hierodeacon Zaharije to the monastery in 1604.

The monastery celebrates its feast day on July 26th, gathering thousands of believers for religious services starting at dawn.

The remains of Saint Gregory of Kumanica rest in the monastery, with records describing him as a Serbian educator and former archbishop.
