Nimnik Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Kurjace, Serbia
The monastery complex includes a church built with unprocessed stones, residential buildings, and two chapels located in a wooded valley near Silver Lake.
The monastery dates back to before the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, suffered destruction by Turkish forces in 1813, and underwent restoration by Prince Milos in 1825.
Following a local legend, the monastery received its name from a girl who spoke 'niscu nimnik', meaning 'I know nothing' in Vlach language to protect its location.
The religious site maintains agricultural activities through sheep and goat farming, beekeeping operations, and provides fresh honey and spring water to visitors.
The church walls incorporate fragments from the Roman site Viminacium, including a marble column capital featuring a female head with scattered hair.
