Kalugerovo Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Lesichovo, Pazardzhik Province, Bulgaria.

The monastery complex includes religious buildings nestled at the foot of Zmeyovets hill, near the Trakiya motorway connecting Plovdiv and Sofia.

The first documented mention of the monastery and its village dates to 1533, when monks called kalugers established the Christian monastery of Saint Nicholas.

The monastery holds regular Orthodox religious services and maintains a collection of religious artifacts that reflect Bulgarian ecclesiastical traditions.

Visitors can reach the monastery via the Trakiya motorway, with the location providing access points from both Plovdiv and Sofia directions.

The monastery grounds contain a Roman stone fountain named Ognyanka and a military column with inscriptions from multiple Roman emperors.
