Chekotin Monastery, Orthodox monastery near Pravets, Bulgaria.
The three-story stone monastery stands above the Maluk Iskar River, featuring a spacious veranda and traditional Bulgarian architectural elements.
Founded in the 12th century, the monastery endured multiple destructions by Ottoman forces and underwent several reconstructions throughout its existence.
The monastery functioned as a center for copying religious texts and maintained a substantial library until 1991, when many books were relocated to museums.
Located 10 kilometers from Pravets center, the monastery includes a spring of water and gardens that visitors can explore during their visit.
The current structure, rebuilt in 1991, incorporates design elements from the Bulgarian National Revival period and houses valuable icons from the Tryavna Art school.
