Batkun Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Patalenitsa, Bulgaria

The monastery complex consists of a stone church with one nave and bell tower, situated on the northern slopes of Karkaria mountain.

Records indicate the monastery's establishment around 1400, with archaeological findings suggesting an ancient Thracian temple existed at this location previously.

The monastery maintains a collection of religious artifacts and hosts regular Orthodox Christian services for the local community in Pazardzhik Municipality.

Located 15 kilometers south of Pazardzhik city, visitors can reach the monastery via a marked turnoff on the Patalenitsa-Vetren dol road.

The monastery grounds feature a 500-year-old grapevine, which has been officially designated as a natural monument of Bulgaria.
