Komogovina Monastery

Komogovina Monastery is a Serbian Orthodox monastery in Sisak-Moslavina County, Croatia, with a church dedicated to the Transfiguration of the Lord. The complex sits in rural countryside and can be reached from the nearby village of Donji Kukuruzari.

The monastery was founded in 1693 when monks from Bosanska Krajina arrived after their original community near Kozara Mountain was destroyed during conflicts with Ottoman forces. This new settlement became the beginning of its long history as an important religious center.

The monastery served as the episcopal seat for three bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Kostajnica between 1715 and 1738, making it a significant center for the Orthodox community. Visitors can see how the place continues to function as a living center of faith and tradition.

The monastery complex sits in a rural area and is best reached through the municipality of Donji Kukuruzari. Visitors should remember this is an active religious center, so respectful behavior and appropriate dress are expected.

The monastery developed its own school of iconography known as the Komogovina School, which produced distinctive religious artwork during its period of operation. This artistic tradition makes it a notable example of religious art production from that era.
