Kuveždin monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Fruška Gora, Serbia.

The monastery complex includes a church with a bell tower, three-sided residential buildings, and a protective wall on the fourth side.

Stefan Štiljanović founded the monastery in 1520, and the first documentation appears in Turkish tax records between 1566 and 1569.

The monastery holds an iconostasis created by Pavle Simić between 1848 and 1853, displaying religious artworks in the Serbian Orthodox tradition.

Located at coordinates 45.127222 latitude and 19.511389 longitude, visitors can access the monastery and refresh at a natural spring.
