Grgeteg monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Fruška Gora mountain, Serbia

The monastery complex includes residential buildings on all four sides of the central church, featuring a baroque architectural design from the 1770s.

The earliest documented records of Grgeteg Monastery date to 1545, although traditional accounts attribute its foundation to Despot Vuk Grgurević in 1471.

The monastery houses an iconostasis created by artist Uroš Predić in 1902, replacing the original rocaille work by Jakov Orfelin from 1774.

Located 25 kilometers from Novi Sad, the monastery maintains regular visiting hours and welcomes both religious pilgrims and architectural enthusiasts.

The monastery stands as one of sixteen religious establishments on Fruška Gora mountain, designated as a Cultural Monument of Exceptional Importance.
