Манастир Горица

Monastery Gorica is an Orthodox religious complex in Donji Budački centered on the Church of Saints Peter and Paul. The buildings display traditional Serbian Orthodox architecture with white exterior walls and a layout designed for monastic life and worship.

The monastery was established in the late 1600s following the Great Serbian Migration under Patriarch Arsenije III Čarnojević. The religious community remained rooted at this location through subsequent centuries until major reconstruction took place.

The monastery is dedicated to the veneration of the Holy Mother of God Trojeručica and serves as a gathering place where Orthodox communities come together for worship. Visitors can experience the living religious practices that continue to shape daily life at the site.

The complex reopened to visitors in 2007 following extensive restoration work that brought the site back to full use. Plan your visit around active worship times and dress respectfully when entering the sacred spaces.

The area carries deep roots in the Serbian Migration, a pivotal moment that reshaped regional settlement patterns and religious boundaries. Nearby Ivanić Jarak holds a memorial site that speaks to the profound impact of World War II events on this landscape.
