Слепченски манастир, Orthodox monastery in Slepče, North Macedonia
The monastery sits on the slopes of Ilinica mountain range in Western Macedonia, with its stone walls built from carved travertine blocks.
The first documented reference to the monastery dates to 1393-1394, marked by the transcription of a liturgical text in Old Bulgarian language.
During the 14th to 16th centuries, the monastery functioned as a literary center where monks copied and preserved numerous religious manuscripts.
Visitors can reach the monastery by taking a road through Slepče village in the Demir Hisar municipality, heading west from the settlement.
In 1845, scholar Viktor Grigorovich discovered the Middle Bulgarian literary monument known as the Slepče Apostol within the monastery walls.
