Obradovtsi monastery, Orthodox monastery in Benkovski, Bulgaria.

Obradovtsi Monastery is an Orthodox monastery in the village of Benkovski, in the Sofia region of Bulgaria. The complex consists of a church and residential buildings for the monks, arranged around a central courtyard.

According to oral tradition, the monastery was founded in late Roman times as a large lavra with 40 chapels, among them ones dedicated to the Nativity of Christ, Saints Peter and Paul, Saint Nicholas, Saint George and Saints Cosmas and Damian. Its end date is unknown. In 1927 villagers found old foundations, an altar apse and a stone-lined well; a wooden chapel was put up that year. The present church was built between 1942 and 1945 and consecrated on 21 October 1945.

The monastery church follows the Eastern Orthodox tradition, with an iconostasis covered in painted icons separating the nave from the altar area. Frescoes line the interior walls, which is typical of Bulgarian Orthodox churches built over the past few centuries.

The monastery is in the village of Benkovski, near Sofia, and is most easily reached by car. Visitors should check opening times before arriving and dress modestly, covering shoulders and knees, as is expected at active religious sites.

The monastery was refounded after 1927, when villagers grazing cattle noticed ruins of old walls; they uncovered the altar apse and a small stone well, the holy-water spring. A discos found there is now kept in the church historical-archaeological museum at the Holy Synod.
