Reževići Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Katun Reževići, Montenegro
Description
Reževići Monastery is a Serbian Orthodox monastery in the Katun area near Budva, comprising two religious structures with a belfry: the Church of the Dormition and the Church of Archdeacon Stefan. The complex shows multiple building phases and combines architectural features from different periods.
History
King Stefan Nemanjic built the Church of the Dormition in the 1220s, establishing an early foundation for the complex. Emperor Stephen Uros IV Dusan later added the Church of Saint Stefan in 1351, expanding the monastery.
Culture
The monastery holds frescoes from the early 17th century and contains icons created by painter Aleksije Lazović in 1833, reflecting the religious art of that era. The iconostasis and wall paintings show how Orthodox tradition has been preserved here over the centuries.
Practical
The monastery is accessible via the main road between Budva and Petrovac, with parking available near the entrance. Wear sturdy shoes since the approach to the complex can be uneven in places.
Did you know?
The monastery takes its name from the Reževići clan of the Paštrovići tribe, who used it as an assembly place for important decisions. This historical link to local tribal organization makes it a significant site of regional identity.
