Kuvezdin

LocationSremska Mitrovica City, Serbia

The Kuveždin monastery is a Serb Orthodox monastery on the Fruška Gora mountain in the northern Serbian province of Vojvodina. Traditionally, its foundation is ascribed to Stefan Štiljanović. The first reliable record of its existence is from a Turkish tax book dated from 1566 to 1569, though the building was constructed much earlier. In 2009, the entire monastery complex has been reconstructed.

The iconostasis of the old church was given away to a church in the village of Opatovac in 1758. The current iconostasis and wall paintings in the new church were carried out by Pavle Simić from 1848 to 1853.
