TheKuveždin monastery (Serbian:Манастир Кувеждин,romanized: Manastir Kuveždin) is aSerb Orthodoxmonastery on theFruška Gora mountain in the northernSerbian province ofVojvodina. Traditionally, its foundation is ascribed toStefan Štiljanović (late 15th century). 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 byPavle Simić from 1848 to 1853.
Kuveždin Monastery was declaredMonument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1990, and it is protected byRepublic of Serbia.
