Beška Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery on Beška Island, Lake Skadar, Montenegro.
The monastery complex contains two religious structures: the Church of Saint George and the Church of Saint Mary on the island of Lake Skadar.
Đurađ II Balšić established the Church of Saint George in the late 14th century, while his wife Jelena constructed the Church of Saint Mary in 1440.
The monastery holds the tomb of Jelena Balšić, who received recognition as Blagovjerna by the Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral in 2006.
The monastery requires a boat journey from the mainland, with the nearest departure point located 45 kilometers from the city of Bar.
The monastery preserves the Goricki Zbornik, a spiritual guidance manuscript authored by Nikon of Jerusalem specifically for this religious institution.
