Moračnik Monastery (Serbian Cyrillic: Манастир Морачник) is a Serbian Orthodox monastery built on the Moračnik island on the Skadar Lake, modern-day Montenegro. The monastery was mentioned in 1417 in the chapter issued by Balša III.[3] It was built after 1400,[4] probably between 1403 and 1417.[5] Until 1997, when the first liturgy was done, the monastery was defunct.[6]
Layout
The monastery was surrounded with a stone wall and consisted of the following buildings: a church dedicated to the Holy Mother of God, residence, communal dining-hall and a tower with a chapel on top.[7]
