Mănăstirea Bezdin, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Munar, Romania

The monastery includes a brick church built in Byzantine style, featuring three apses and an ornate iconostasis painted by Stefan Tenecki in 1753.

Established in 1539 by Iovan Iaksici from Nadlac, the monastery endured Turkish attacks during the Ottoman occupation of Banat region.

The monastery maintains Serbian Orthodox traditions through religious services and houses the miracle-working Icon of the Mother of God from Mount Athos.

Located 36 kilometers west of Arad on the right bank of the Mureș River, the monastery complex contains 52 rooms, a chapel, and a refectory.

The monastery takes its name from the Bezdin stream, which forms a series of reed-filled swamps in the western section of the property.
