Krušedol Monastery
Манастир Крушедол
One of the most important monasteries on Fruška Gora, founded in the 16th century by the Branković family. The church is covered in Baroque murals, and several members of the royal family are buried here.
Krušedol Monastery was built between 1509 and 1516 by Bishop Maksim Branković and his mother Jelena. It is the memorial monastery of the family of Serbia's last despots. Most of the murals inside the church are in the 18th-century Baroque style, with rich colors, and the iconostasis is ornate. Buried here are King Milan I of Serbia, Princess Ljubica and other royal family members. The monastery is still home to nuns. Admission is free, and modest dress is required (women should cover their shoulders and knees). It is about 30 kilometers from Novi Sad and is often visited together with Sremski Karlovci.
