TheBeočin Monastery (Serbian:Mанастир Беочин,romanized: Manastir Beočin) is aSerbian Orthodoxmonastery, located just outsideBeočin, onFruška Gora mountain in the northernSerbian province ofVojvodina.
The date of its founding is unknown. It was first mentioned inOttoman Turkish records dated in 1566/1567. The monastery suffered heavy damages and was abandoned during theAustro-Turkish Wars (1593–1791), but the monks ofRača (western Serbia) arrived and reconstructed the holy place. The construction works on the extant church lasted from 1732 until 1740, and the bell-tower was completed in 1762. A general reconstruction was undertaken in 1893. The icons were painted byJanko Halkozović,Dimitrije Bačević andTeodor Kračun.
Beočin Monastery was declared aMonument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1990 and it is protected byRepublic of Serbia.[1]
