Manastir Soko, Orthodox monastery in Ljubovija, Serbia

Manastir Soko is an Orthodox monastery in western Serbia nestled beneath Sokolska Mountain, featuring a main church, residential buildings, and conference spaces. The complex provides guest accommodations and dining facilities alongside the spiritual functions of monastic life.

The monastery was founded in 1994 near the site of the former Ottoman fortress Soko Grad, which occupied the mountain peak until 1862. The location connects modern religious construction with the legacy of an earlier military stronghold.

The monastery displays religious artistry through its ornate wooden iconostasis and hand-painted Byzantine-style icons created by the sisters. These sacred artworks form the spiritual centerpiece that guides daily worship and prayer within the community.

The monastery offers guest rooms with dining services in a tranquil mountain setting, making it ideal for visitors seeking accommodation and meals during their stay. Plan for variable weather conditions typical of mountainous terrain and dress accordingly for your visit.

The complex features the Path of Faith, a two-kilometer walking route that connects ten small chapels representing the Ten Commandments. This pilgrimage trail culminates at a golden cross, offering visitors a physical journey through spiritual teachings.
