Tavna Monastery

Tavna Monastery is an Orthodox monastery first mentioned in 1548. The church of the monastery was frescoed, probably at the beginning of the 17th century. Its frescoes are very reminiscent of the frescoes of the monasteries of Žitomislić and Ozren, which were made between 1608 and 1609. During the Second World War, in July 1941, the Ustashas (Croatian fascists) dispersed and interned the monks. The monastery was bombed several times and in 1943, when a partisan hospital took refuge in the monastery, the Ustasha army set fire to the dormitory. At that time, the library and old writings were completely destroyed but the church was somewhat preserved.
