Moračnik Monastery, Orthodox monastery on Moračnik Island, Lake Skadar National Park, Montenegro
The monastery consists of a domed stone church dedicated to the Holy Virgin and includes a tower-like building for accommodation purposes.
The monastery received a salt evaporation pond through a charter from Balša III in 1417, indicating its establishment between 1403 and 1417.
The monastery functions as a center of Orthodox Christian faith, preserving religious traditions within the Lake Skadar region of Montenegro.
Access to the monastery requires a boat journey across Lake Skadar, with spring and autumn presenting the most favorable conditions for visits.
Three brothers from Godinje village defended the monastery during the Montenegrin-Ottoman war in 1853, marking a notable moment in its history.
