Pokajnica Monastery, Wooden monastery in Staro Selo, Serbia.
The Pokajnica Monastery features oak wood construction throughout its structure, including a single-nave design with an altar area, naos, narthex, and chancel.
Constructed in 1818, the monastery served as the first church in the region, funded by the communities of Adžibegovac, Planjane, and Rakinac.
The monastery's iconostasis contains three distinct zones of religious artwork, displaying numerous icons and a prominent upper cross depicting the Crucifixion.
The Republic Institute for Protection of Cultural Monuments in Smederevo maintains the site, which underwent restoration work between 1987 and 1988.
The church stands as one of the few remaining log cabin churches in Serbia, built specifically for the transfer of Saint Nicholas relics.
