Drenča Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Drenča, Serbia.

The monastery church exhibits a trefoil base combined with an inscribed cross, featuring a slim cupola supported by four central pillars.

Founded in 1379 by Dorotheus of Hilandar and his son Danilo, the monastery received extensive lands around Kruševac and Braničevo for its support.

The monastery functions as a gathering place for Orthodox Christians in the Zupa region, maintaining centuries-old religious traditions and practices.

Located 5 kilometers north of Aleksandrovac in Central Serbia, the monastery underwent complete restoration between 2003 and 2006 under professional supervision.

The monastery structure incorporates polygonal shapes for the vestry and deacon apses on the exterior while maintaining semi-circular designs in the interior.
