Serbian Kovin Monastery
Serbian Kovin Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Ráckeve, Hungary
The Gothic structure stands on Csepel Island with a rectangular base, massive stone walls, and a 40-meter Baroque bell tower reaching toward the sky.
Queen Helena, wife of King Béla II of Hungary, established the monastery in the early 12th century as a religious center for Serbian refugees.
The monastery walls display multiple layers of frescoes from 1320, 1514, and 1765, presenting Serbian rulers and religious figures in different artistic styles.
Located 40 kilometers south of Budapest, the monastery functions as an active religious center within the Diocese of Buda of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
The interior combines Gothic architectural elements with late-Byzantine decorations, housing a treasury of ecclesiastical objects from the 18th and 19th centuries.
