Fenek monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Jakovo, Serbia.

The Fenek Monastery stands near Jakovo village, 25 kilometers from Belgrade, in the Syrmia region of Vojvodina.

Founded by Stefan and Angelina Branković in the 15th century, the monastery remained under Ottoman control until 1717 and was rebuilt between 1793 and 1797.

The church iconostasis contains paintings by Petar Radosavljević and Aksentije Marković, representing 18th-century Serbian religious art.

The monastery holds religious celebrations on October 27 for Saint Paraskeva and hosts a public gathering every August 7.

A golden cross, installed in 1743 under Maria Theresa, marks the monastery's boundaries and represented safety for local inhabitants.
