Monastère de Kacapun, Protected Serbian Orthodox monastery in Vladičin Han, Serbia.

Kacapun Monastery, dedicated to the Prophet Elijah, is a single-nave church with an altar area, nave and narthex, built of roughly hewn stone blocks bound with mud and whitewashed outside. A barrel vault reinforced with wooden beams covers the interior, and the iconostasis holds 21 icons. It stands on a small plateau at the start of the Lepenica River gorge, 700 m above sea level.

Oral tradition holds that the Nemanjić dynasty founded a monastery here in the 13th century, but the modest architecture points to the early 15th century. M. Vasić and K. Jovanović recorded that the church was renewed around 1828 by the priest Stefan, when it received its dedication to Saint Elijah. It was registered as a cultural monument on 18 March 1983.

The church is dedicated to the prophet Elijah, whose image is painted in the niche above the entrance portal. According to tradition recorded by M. Vasić and K. Jovanović in 1908, the monastery was renewed around 1828 by the priest Stefan and then received its dedication to Saint Elijah. A small entrance door forces every visitor to bow when entering.

The monastery can be accessed through the Vladičín Han area using local roads and regional connections. Travelers arriving by air typically use the airport in Niš as the primary entry point to reach this part of southern Serbia.

The church door was built deliberately small so that every visitor, including conquerors, had to bow when entering. According to tradition, the Ottomans spared the monastery because they feared Saint Elijah. The monastery was registered as a cultural monument by the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments in Niš on 18 March 1983.
