Osovica Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Nova Ves, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Osovica is a Serbian Orthodox monastery complex at the foot of Mount Motajica in Nova Ves, near Srbac. It consists of a main church dedicated to the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos, two smaller churches dedicated to Saint Procopius and Saint Nicholas, and a monastic dormitory (konak). The complex is being rebuilt on the foundations of a medieval monastery discovered in 2003 at the Monasteriste site by the Osovica stream.

Founded probably under Vladislav II (1316–1325), son of King Stefan Dragutin, in the Usora region; some accounts name Dragutin himself as founder. A seal of the Osovica monastery dated 1330 survives at Gomionica monastery. In the 16th century the Rača memorial book lists the hieromonk Isaija and the monks Jevtimije and Aksentije of Osovica. The Turks destroyed the monastery at the end of the 17th century during the Great Turkish War.

The monastery's seal, dated 1330, is kept at Gomionica Monastery; in 1883 it was in the hands of the priest Kosta Dušanić. The monastery is dedicated to the Annunciation, and its chapels to Saint Procopius and Saint Nicholas. The brotherhood today includes hieromonk Teofil, transferred from Stuplje.

The site is located at the foot of Mount Motajica, roughly 30 kilometers from Srbac, requiring some travel for visitors. Those interested in religious heritage should plan their visit around the active spiritual practices that take place at the monastery.

A 19th-century Turkish captain from Kobаш sold all the stone of the ruined church to Austrians in Slavonian Kobaš to build houses, leaving only the foundations. A monastery seal of Osovica was preserved at Gomionica Monastery, where it was recorded in 1883 in the possession of the priest Kosta Dušanić.
