Lapušnja Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Boljevac, Serbia
The monastery stands in a ravine beside Lopušanski Creek at the base of Vučja Glava hill, two kilometers from the Paraćin-Zaječar road.
Duke Jovan Radul and Prefect Gergina constructed the monastery in 1500, with interior frescoes completed in 1510 under the supervision of Prince Bogoj.
The monastery church features an octagonal dome and contains frescoes depicting holy warriors, archbishops, Great Holidays, liturgical themes, prophets, and evangelists.
Visitors can reach the monastery by taking a dirt road from the main Paraćin-Zaječar route in the direction of Mount Rtanj.
The monastery walls display a founding composition showing Radul, Gergina, Prince Bogoje, his wife Mara, and their children as testament to its origins.
