Bogovađa Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Lajkovac, Serbia.

The monastery features traditional Serbian Orthodox architectural elements with a central church building surrounded by monastic quarters and a protected churchyard.

The monastery, established in 1849, underwent several reconstructions, including major renovations by Prince Miloš Obrenović in 1816 and facade updates in 1852.

The monastery iconostasis, completed in 1858 by Milija Marković and his sons from Požarevac, represents Serbian Orthodox artistic traditions.

The monastery complex includes a fountain from 1796, multiple tombs of historical significance, and remains open for religious services and visitors.

The monastery grounds contain a water source called Bogova voda, meaning God's water, which influenced the naming of the entire complex.
