Rakovac monastery, Orthodox monastery in Fruška Gora, Serbia

The monastery complex consists of a church dedicated to Saints Cosmas and Damian, residential buildings arranged in three ranges, and a bell tower.

Founded in the late fifteenth century by Raka Milošević, a chamberlain to Despot Jovan Branković, the first written records date from 1545.

The monastery walls contain fragments of sixteenth-century frescoes, while the refectory displays wall paintings created by Amvrosije Janković in 1768.

Located at coordinates 45.184589 latitude and 19.774531 longitude, the monastery sits beside Rakovac stream near the main road through the village.

During World War II, German forces destroyed the baroque bell tower after discovering a partisan printing press hidden within the monastery walls.
