Dobrićevo Monastery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dobrićevo Monastery (Serbian: Манастир Добрићево, romanized: Manastir Dobrićevo), the Presentation of the Virgin, is a Serbian Orthodox monastery located in Orah, modern-day Bileća municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The monastery was originally built in the 15th or 16th century by the river Trebišnjica and then moved in 1964 upstream to Orah village, near town of Bileća in the eponymous municipality, because its original location was flooded after the completion of the Grančarevo Dam in 1965.
On 17 May 2006, the KONS of Bosnia and Herzegovina designated Dobrićevo Monastery a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
