One of the four most iconic Macedonian monasteries that are a must-visit. The place is very well kept and it has a lot of history behind it. The has a freshly restored section, one section that is kept as it has been for hundreds of years, and a new section that is being built as of August, 2020. There's a great outdoor hill with lots of wooden benches and tables for anyone to sit on. The views, as well as the peace and quiet you can experience here are unmatched. Worthy of a visit, if not several visits. Must visit monastery. Beautiful scenery on the way there and the itself. Make sure you get someone/guide to explain what the is all about. Well kept with souvenir shop. There is a restaurant close by with good food. Quite expensive for Macedonia. This is a working and there may be services if you visit on a Sunday (so quite busy). Long skirts are provided for women at the entrance -- you'll need them to enter the church. No entrance fee -- there's a lovely man selling local honey on the way from the parking lot. No pictures allowed inside the church A very serene monastery. Old church in it with precious and old frescoes. Saint Gavril Lesnivski's mortal remains are kept in the church. Place for relax and the if you want to stay overnight please call one week before. Beautiful in the middle of the mountain. The scenery is amazing, and have a lots of space for a large amount of people. Most beautiful in Macedonia Visiting Lesnovo in Macedonia was an absolutely moving experience. There’s a unique peace here that makes you truly appreciate the beauty of Orthodox tradition What made the visit even more special was learning about Saint Gabriel, Bishop of Velica, a modern ascetic Macedonian saint. His devotion, humility, and deep connection to faith are still felt throughout the monastery, making the experience not just historical, but deeply personal and inspiring. If you’re looking for a place that combines history, spirituality, and serenity, Lesnovo is a true treasure of Macedonia. Very peaceful and beautiful place. A real rest for the soul. ⛪️🤍🙏 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.
