Krka Monastery is the most important Serbian Orthodox monastery in Croatia. It is a protected monument that is part of the Krka National Park.
The Serbian Orthodox Church of Saint Nicholas was built in 1618. A bell tower was added in 1801. The church has been a target during the world wars and the Yugoslav Civil War. The building was also gravely damaged in 1972 after Croatian nationalists set fire to it during the Croatian Spring crisis. The building was restored two years later, but Croatian nationalists planted several explosives around the church between 1990 and 1991, which damaged the building again. From 2015 onwards, the church underwent several renovations: new doors, new windows, and a metal staircase to the bell tower were added. The facade has also been restored. The Serbian Orthodox community celebrated the 400th anniversary of the church in 2018.

Located on the beautiful island of Visovac in the Krka National Park, the monastery keeps a collection of books, works of art and other important documents.
