Razboishte Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Sofia Province, Bulgaria
The monastery lies in the Nishava river gorge near the village of Razboishte, featuring a single-nave church constructed above the watercourse.
Dating back to the fourth century, the monastery endured multiple destructions during Ottoman rule, with its buildings burned down three separate times.
The monastery holds religious importance as a former residence of Saint Sava, who spent forty days in the surrounding caves during his journey to Jerusalem.
Access to the monastery requires navigation of a dirt road from nearby villages, which becomes impassable during wet weather conditions.
The last permanent residents were three nuns who arrived in 1947 to restore the monastery, with the final nun passing away in 2007.
