Kuveždin monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Fruška Gora, Serbia.
Kuveždin is a Serbian Orthodox monastery in the Fruška Gora region, consisting of a church with a bell tower, residential buildings on three sides, and a protective wall. The church interior features an impressive iconostasis displaying religious artworks in the Serbian Orthodox tradition.
Stefan Štiljanović founded the monastery in the early 16th century, and first records in Turkish tax registers confirm its existence decades later. The complex endured centuries of political and religious changes in the region.
The monastery takes its name from a spring nearby and remains a pilgrimage site for Orthodox believers from across the region. Visitors come to pray in the church and observe the hand-crafted religious images that reflect the spiritual life of the community.
The monastery sits in the Fruška Gora mountains and is best reached on foot, with good walking paths through the forested area. A natural spring on the grounds provides water, and the site works well for a half-day visit with time to explore.
The monastery was originally founded for monks but was transformed into a nunnery in the years before World War II. Many Russian nuns fleeing the October Revolution found refuge here and shaped the life of the community for decades.
