Ustrem Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Topolovgrad, Bulgaria

The Holy Trinity Monastery contains residential buildings, agricultural structures, and a bell tower at the entrance, surrounded by maintained courtyards.

The monastery experienced destruction during the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829, leading to its reconstruction in 1836 with the addition of a new church.

The monastery church features a three-nave structure with a narthex, decorated with numerous 19th-century icons and an ornate iconostasis.

The monastery remains active under the Sliven Diocese of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church and welcomes visitors interested in religious heritage.

The church altar area contains an integrated underground hiding place once used by Bulgarian rebels, making it distinct among Bulgarian monasteries.
