Moračnik Monastery (Serbian Cyrillic: Манастир Морачник) is a Serbian Orthodox monastery built on the Moračnik island on the Skadar Lake, modern-day Montenegro.
History
The name of the monatery is derived from the name of the island. The monastery was mentioned in the chapter issued by Balša III in 1417 by which he granted a salt evaporation pond to the monastery.[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]
