Knežina Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Knežina, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The monastery sits at an altitude that offers views over the surrounding landscape, featuring traditional Orthodox architectural elements and religious decorations.

Founded in 1371 during the medieval period, the monastery underwent reconstruction in 1963, maintaining its religious function through centuries of regional changes.

The monastery contains religious artifacts, Orthodox icons, and frescoes that represent the artistic traditions of Serbian Orthodox religious expression.

Located 15 minutes north of Sokolac, the monastery welcomes visitors who wish to explore the grounds and participate in religious services.

The monastery's reconstruction during the socialist period demonstrates the preservation of religious heritage despite the political climate of that era.
