Lepavina Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Sokolovac, Croatia.

The monastery complex in northern Croatia includes a Baroque church and dormitory buildings surrounded by gardens near Koprivnica town.

Founded around 1550 by monk Jefrem Vukodabović from Hilandar Monastery, the site experienced destruction by Turkish forces in 1557 and reconstruction in 1598.

The monastery preserves a collection of valuable religious manuscripts, printed books, and a 16th-century Creto-Venetian icon of the Mother of God.

Located at Lepavina 18, 48306, visitors can reach the monastery by car from Koprivnica and contact +385-48661032 for current visiting arrangements.

The monastery functions as the primary Orthodox center in northern Croatia since the neighboring Marča Monastery transferred to Greek Catholics.
