Manastir Tavna
Go there and contact
The oldest Serbian Orthodox monastery in the Bijeljina region, founded in the century but plundered many times. Beautiful setting.
This Serbian Orthodox monastery (Manastir Tavna/Манастир Тавна) is the oldest in the region. Located 23 km southwest of Bijeljina, in Banjica/Бањица, and occupied by a dozen nuns, it benefits from a beautiful setting: on the banks of the Tavna River and at the foot of the Majevica massif (916 m above sea level). Founded in the 11th century, it has been plundered many times. Its 14th-century catholicon is dedicated to the Trinity and features a bell tower added in 1884. The interior was repainted in 1995 by the artist responsible for decorating the St Basil of Ostrog monastery in Bijeljina.
