Kamenac Monastery

The origin of the monastery of Kamenac is linked to the despot Stefan Lazarević (1402-1427), its construction having taken place between 1416 and 1426. The monastery was destroyed after the arrival of the Ottomans in this region in the middle of the 15th century. It is not known to what extent it was damaged, however, it is known that the monastery church was renovated in 1547. A second renovation of the monastery was carried out in 1700. At the beginning of the 19th century, Kamenac suffered greatly from the wars with the Ottomans, so it was renovated many times during this century, which gave it its present form.

Ježevica Monastery

Ježevica Monastery dates probably back to the 14th century. Before the addition of the narthex and the Baroque bell tower in the 19th century, between 1846 and 1853, the church was about 12 metres long. It is assumed that the foundation form of the Ježevica church was derived from that of the Arilje church, and the Arilje church from the church of Žiča.
