Jermenčić Monastery, Medieval monastery in Sokobanja, Serbia
The Jermenčić Monastery stands on Ozren Mountain, featuring traditional Serbian Orthodox architecture with a gable roof and distinctive kalkan design elements.
Founded in 1392 by Armenian refugees fleeing the Ottoman forces after the Battle of Kosovo, the monastery was rebuilt in 1806 following destruction by Turkish forces.
The monastery holds annual celebrations on July 26 dedicated to Archangels Gabriel and Michael, bringing together Orthodox Christian worshippers from the region.
The monastery complex includes a spring with inscriptions from 1874, and visitors can explore the surrounding caves, including the 580-meter Ozren Cave.
Archaeological findings in the nearby Ozren Cave reveal Neolithic pottery, indicating human presence in this area long before the monastery construction.
