Privina Glava monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Fruška Gora mountain, Serbia.

The monastery complex encompasses nine structures within high walls, featuring the main church dedicated to Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel.

The earliest documentation of Privina Glava Monastery appears in Ottoman records from 1566, though its establishment dates to the 12th century.

The monastery's altar screen displays icons painted by Andrej Šaltist in 1786, while Kuzman Kolarić created the wall paintings in 1791.

The monastery maintains regular visiting hours and requires advance notification for group visits, with expectations for modest dress code.

The monastery once housed the Munich Psalter, an illuminated manuscript from the 14th century, which was taken to Bavaria during Ottoman wars.
