Lesnovo Monastery
Lesnovo Monastery is an Orthodox monastery founded by Saint Gabriel of Lesnovo in the 11th century. His relics were kept in the church before being transferred to Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria. The church, dedicated to the Archangel Saint Michael, was rebuilt in 1341, and its interior decoration was completed in 1349. The monastery was restored in 1558 and again in 1581. It continued its activity until the 18th century but was abandoned at the beginning of the 19th century. However, it was restored in 1805 by a monk from Detchani. The frescoes in the church date from the 14th century.
