Sukovo Monastery, Medieval Orthodox monastery in Pirot, Serbia
The monastery stands on the right bank of the Jerma River near Sukovo village, featuring three semicircular apses constructed from stone and bricks.
The site holds religious significance since Roman times, with documentation from 1019 indicating its connection to the Sredets Eparchy under Ohrid Archdiocese jurisdiction.
The monastery houses an intricate gold-plated wooden iconostasis and contains frescoes painted in 1869 by Serbian, Bulgarian, Greek, and Russian artists.
Located 18 kilometers east of Pirot on the road to Zvonacka Banja Spa, the monastery maintains production facilities for natural honey and brandy.
The church features unconventional frescoes, including a representation of Saint Christopher with an animal head and the Virgin Mary depicted with wings.
