Seslavtsi Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Seslavtsi district, Sofia, Bulgaria

The monastery includes a central church building with traditional Bulgarian architectural elements and religious artwork representing Orthodox imagery throughout its interior spaces.

During the Ottoman period, the monastery served the Seslavtsi village, which held special privileges as a dervendzhii settlement guarding mountain passages.

The monastery contains collections of religious artifacts and maintains Orthodox traditions through regular services, continuing centuries of spiritual practice in the region.

Located 21 kilometers from Sofia's center, the monastery can be reached via an asphalt road that starts from Seslavtsi district.

The monastery stands near the ruins of an ancient fortress that belonged to Boyar Seslav, who, according to local records, founded the original settlement.
