Object description

The Vozuća Monastery is a Serbian Orthodox monastery dedicated to the Holy Trinity and located around 5 kilometres from the village of Vozuća in the Municipality of Zavidovići, central Bosnia and Herzegovina. The monastery was founded by Serbian king Stefan Dragutin. It was first mentioned in 1617. After it was abandoned in 1690, during the Great Turkish War, it remained empty for more than a century. It was renovated two times during the 19th century, between 1856 and 1859, and in 1884. An elementary school was constructed at the monastery in 1858, but it was closed in 1894. That year, a wooden bell tower was built beside the monastery's church.
