Plakovski Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Veliko Turnovo region, Bulgaria.

Plakovski Monastery is a Bulgarian Orthodox men's monastery in the Veliko Tarnovo diocese, in the village of Plakovo. Its church, built after 1845, is a long single-nave building with a large conical dome on a cylindrical drum, three high semicylindrical apses and an open narthex with massive columns. A 26-metre bell tower with decorative masonry and a stone fountain stands beside two-storey residential wings.

Founded during the Second Bulgarian Empire, the monastery was rebuilt at its present site in the second half of the 13th century. It was destroyed under Ottoman rule, restored in 1450, and later burned and looted repeatedly. In 1835 the Velcho Conspiracy was organized here under hegumen Sergius; after its suppression the monastery was destroyed again. Reconstruction began in 1845.

The church's iconostasis is unpainted wood with deep carving of stylised plant forms in Baroque shapes. Zahari Zograf painted some of its icons and several smaller icons. Above the entrance an unknown artist depicted the Ascension of the Prophet Elijah, commissioned in 1852 by the Gabrovo tanners' guild, as the donor inscription records.

The monastery sits outside Veliko Turnovo and can be reached by road passing through a nearby village settlement. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for a rural location when planning their visit.

The church door carries a fresco of the Ascension of the Prophet Elijah, painted by an unknown artist. The ktitor inscription records only that it was commissioned in 1852 by the Gaborovo tanners' guild. The iconostasis, with deep carved Baroque-style plant motifs, includes icons by Zahari Zograf.
