Leshok is wonderful and peaceful place. Lying at 638 metres above sea level it is located on the southeastern side of the mountain Šar Planina. In its complex are the churches of St. Athanasius of Alexandria and the Holy Mother of God Church. The Church of the Holy Virgin, built in 1326, is an excellent example of Byzantine style and architectural tradition. The church has three layers of frescoes. The 1st and bottom layer is from the first time of construction, the second and middle one was added sometime in the 17th century, and the third and top layer was added in 1879. Several marble columns from the original church can still be seen in the Tetovo museum. The dormitories were redecorated from around 1818 and the library was founded and Lešok became a literature and educational center. Свети Атанасиј претставува главната манастирска црква на Лешочкиот манастир. Црквата со прекини се градела 10 години. Во 2001 година истата била разрушена до темел, но веднаш била комплетно рекоструирана и реосветена. Секоја година се одржува манастирски собир на 28 август, кога се собираат голем број на верници од селото,околината и подалечените места кој број изнесува над неколку илјади верници. Best place to spend the time with your family in a place with nature , kids playground, church and nice restaurant with good service and delicious Macedonian food.The place is also good for a picnic, just put everything on the green grass and enjoy the beautiful nature. Church of the assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is one the oldest churches (1326) in the region. It is highly recommended, and if i have the chance, i would go there again Great monastery. It's large and beautiful, it's worth lighting a candle. May peace be upon the staff, amen. Magnificent views, old religion place, two churches one it's from 14 century with most beautiful and unique icons. A beautiful that bears witness to a rich history and turbulent and unfortunate past events, but luckily today the is maintained and looks perfect in its surrounding. Within the complex is the tomb of Kiril Pejcinovic, which was very important Macedonian cleric, writer and enlightener. The is one of a kind! The priests there are very kind and the bishop Josif is often there to meet him. He is a great person to talk with, a true holy man! Sećanje na mladost...mesto za svaku preporuku... Unreal nature, amazing 👌🙏 Nice christian ortodox with excellent location and yard. Beautiful worth a visit, pictured is the grave of Macedonian cleric Kiril Pejcinovic Tetoec. Sessizlik ve doğa içinde güzel bir manastır. Restoranında yemekler mükemmel! Bütün Makedonya seyahatimiz boyunca en iyi yemeği burada yedik ve unutulmaz bir anı oldu bizim için. Menü ve yazıları dilimize çevirmek için ChatGPT kullandık. Bize göre gerçek Makedonya burasıydı. 👍 Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
