Fenek monastery

Fenek Monastery is a Serbian Orthodox religious complex located in the Syrmia region of Vojvodina. The site functions as an active monastery with a church featuring an 18th-century iconostasis and supporting monastic structures.

The monastery was founded in the 15th century by Stefan and Angelina Branković and remained under Ottoman rule for centuries. It was reconstructed between 1793 and 1797, establishing the structures visible today.

The church iconostasis displays paintings by Petar Radosavljević and Aksentije Marković from the 18th century. These artworks reflect the religious artistic traditions that flourished in this region during that period.

The monastery is an active religious site that welcomes visitors during religious observances and community gatherings. Check ahead about current events and access times to plan your visit appropriately.

A golden cross installed in 1743 under Maria Theresa marks the monastery's boundaries and once provided reassurance to nearby residents. This cross remains a distinctive feature of the site.
