Troyan Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Oreshak, Bulgaria
The stone monastery complex sits on the banks of the Cherni Osam River, encircled by the mountains of the Balkan range.
Founded in 1600, the monastery received recognition as stavropegial institution in 1830, gaining direct subordination to the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
The main church contains frescoes painted by Zahari Zograf in 1847, including the Wheel of Life composition and the artist's self-portrait.
Visitors can stay overnight in the monastery's accommodation facilities and participate in Orthodox services throughout the year.
The monastery houses a copy of the Three-Handed Virgin Mary icon from Mount Athos, which pilgrims consider miraculous.
