Krušedol Monastery is situated in the south slope of Fruška Gora Mountain, in the Krušedol limits on the road between Irig and village of Maradik.
The monastery is the legacy of the last Serbian despot family of Srem - Branković. It was built between 1509 and 1512 by Bishop Maksim (Djordje) Branković, the son of despot Stefan the Blind and Angelina, the grandson of Djuradj Branković Smederevac.
The Krusedol Monastery was heavily destroyed and set aflame by Turks in 1716 during their retreat. However, soon after this event the reconstruction of monasteries and churches started. The Baroque bell tower and residences were completed in the first half of the 18th century. At the same time the church was painted. It was entrusted to the Greek masters from the Holy Mountain (Sveta Gora), who operated on the territory of Vlaška and Moldova.
The monastery church is dedicated to the celebration of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary.
The monastery library is widely known.
Monastery Krušedol is with good reason called the Serbian Pantheon considering that many important personalities were buried there, such as: Patriarch Arsenije III Čarnojević, Patriarch Arsenije IV Jovanovic Šakabenta, Princess Ljubica, the wife of Prince Miloš Obrenović, King Milan and many others.
