Fyrstbispegård - Prince-bishop's residence

Fra klosteret regeredes Montenegro fra 1500-tallet af en række af "vladikaer", fyrstbiskopper, der var næsten helt selvstændige i forhold til Osmannerriget. Da de var munke, efterfulgtes de af deres nevøer. Det nuværende kloster er fra 1700-tallet og er stadig landets kirkelige centrum.

 

From the monastery Montenegro was ruled from the 16th century by a succession of "Vladikas", prince-bishops who were almost completely independent from the Ottoman empire. As they were monks, they were succeded by their nephews. The present monastery is from the 18th century and is still the ecclesiastical centre of the country.
