MALA REMETA MONASTERY

MALA REMETA MONASTERY

MALA REMETA MONASTERY, with its church dedicated to the Protection of the Theotokos, was, according to tradition, built by King Dragutin, who donated it to the Rača Monastery.
The first reliable information about the monastery comes from Ottoman sources of the 16th century. At the end of the 17th century, the monastery was restored by monks fleeing from the Rača Monastery. The appearance of the original church is unknown; the present church was built in 1739 on its site.
The main icons on the iconostasis were painted in 1759 by Janko Halkozović, and the wall paintings were done by Kosta Venćelović in 1910.
