Klisurski Monastery, Orthodox convent in Montana Province, Bulgaria
The Klisurski Monastery complex includes two churches, three residential buildings, a farmyard, and a kitchen at 536 meters elevation.
Founded in 1240 during the Second Bulgarian Empire, the monastery endured destruction in 1862 when Turkish forces set it ablaze, killing monks and pilgrims.
The monastery maintains Orthodox Christian traditions through daily prayer sessions, liturgical ceremonies, and communal living practices within its stone walls.
Located 9 kilometers from Berkovitsa and 85 kilometers from Sofia, the monastery offers accommodations for visitors interested in experiencing monastic life.
The monks maintain self-sustainability through the production and sale of traditional items such as honey and handcrafted candles.
