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

Grgeteg Monastery is a Serbian Orthodox monastery set in the Fruška Gora mountains with a central church building surrounded by residential structures on all four sides. The complex displays baroque architectural features from the 1770s with carefully designed facades and a structured courtyard layout.

The earliest written records of the monastery date to 1545, though local traditions speak of its founding by Despot Vuk Grgurević in 1471. The buildings in their current form took shape during the 18th century and have defined the site's appearance to this day.

The carved wooden iconostasis now in the church was painted by Uroš Predić in 1901–1902, replacing Jakov Orfelin's walled rocaille iconostasis of 1774–1775. Archimandrite Ilarion Ruvarac engaged Predić for the work; Predić later said the elder had drawn him into a large commission for both the church and the chapel.

The monastery lies on the southern slope of Fruška Gora, near the village of Grgeteg. The church stands at the centre of the complex, enclosed on all four sides by residential buildings. Visitors enter through the gate in the low white wall with iron railings; the bell tower rises at the left end of the main building.

The monastery church holds a venerated copy of the Shiklosh Mother of God icon, once thought to date from the 16th century and the time of Serbian despot Stefan Štiljanović. The monastery also kept relics including the foot of Saint Thecla and the skull bone of Saint Stephen, and housed a school in 1859.
