Batulia Monastery

Batulia Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Sofia Province, Bulgaria.

Batulia Monastery of St. Nicholas the Miracle-Worker consists of a single-nave, single-apse church without a dome, an electrified and water-supplied residential building, a stone fountain and a bell tower. The churchyard is dominated by a sheer rock cliff, topped by a large metal cross, on the hill where the monastery stands.

The church was built in 1911, while a plaque on the guesthouse wall records that the building was erected in 1913 under Exarch Joseph and Sofia Metropolitan Parthenius. For many years Father Stefan has cared for the monastery.

The community here maintains daily prayers and observes religious festivals according to Orthodox Christian traditions that shape daily life. Visitors can see the icons and sacred objects inside the church and experience the spiritual rhythm that guides the residents.

The monastery lies 1 km northeast of Batuliya; from the village centre, take the steep dirt road to the right of the anti-fascist monument, on foot or by car. It is 4 km east of Rebrovo station and 14 km southeast of Svoge. The church has no dome, and a large metal cross stands on the cliff above the courtyard.

The courtyard is dominated by a sheer rock cliff that ends the hill on which the monastery stands, and a large metal cross is fixed on its summit. The church itself is single-nave and single-apse, without a dome.
