manastir podmaine

The exact year of establishment of the monastery is unknown. The church of Dormition of the Mother of God was built in the 15th century and reconstructed in 1630 while its larger church (Church of St. Petka) was built in 1747.[5]

 

Metropolitan Danilo I Petrović-Njegoš died in Podmaine Monastery in 1735. He was buried in the monastery but his remnants were later moved to Cetinje.[6][7] Dositej Obradović lived several months in the monastery when he visited Boka in 1764.[8]

 

In 1830 Petar II Petrović-Njegoš, based on the request of the emperor of Russia, sold Podmaine Monastery and Stanjevići Monastery together with their estates to the Austrian Empire.[9]

 

Njegoš wrote parts of his masterpiece The Mountain Wreath in Podmaine Monastery.[10]
