Monastery Kastaljan, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Sopot, Serbia.

The monastery complex of Kastaljan includes a church, living quarters, and a refectory on the eastern slope of Mount Kosmaj near Nemenikuće village.

Archaeological excavations have revealed three distinct construction phases, with the initial church dating back to the fourteenth century during medieval Serbian times.

The Kastaljan monastery complex developed into a significant center of Serbian Orthodox Christianity, with connections to despot Stefan Lazarević's summer residence.

Visitors can reach the monastery site through marked paths from Sopot, with parking facilities and information about guided tours available at the entrance.

The refectory served dual purposes as both a chapel and a summer residence for despot Stefan Lazarević during the early fifteenth century.
