Description

The Monastery of Holy Trinity sits on the southwestern slopes of Ovčar Mountain with traditional Serbian medieval architecture, featuring detailed frescoes and religious artworks throughout. The structure nestles within a forested hillside and includes multiple rooms and spaces built for prayer and worship.

History

Records and census data point to the monastery's founding in the late 16th century, followed by destruction and later rebuilding after the 17th century. This period of reconstruction shaped the complex as it appears today.

Culture

The monastery holds precious religious objects including a throne cross embroidered with gold and silver threads, plus two important throne images of the Savior and Virgin Mary. These sacred items show how deeply Christian tradition shapes what visitors see and experience here.

Practical

The path to the monastery is marked and leads uphill from Ovčar Banja through forested trails, with the walk taking about 75 minutes. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and be ready for uneven ground.
