Glogovac monastery
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". The Glogovac Monastery (Template:Langx) is a Serbian Orthodox monastery dedicated to Saint George and located at the village of Babići near Šipovo in the Republika Srpska entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is the only monastery in this area.
First reconstruction
The monastery was built in a narrow gorge of the Glogovac river in 1886. It was burned down during World War II and restored in the 1960s.[1] According to one of the stories, enslaved Serbs asked the Sultan of Turkey to allow them to re-build this holy place. Permission was granted under condition that church bells were not heard. This is the reason the monastery is built between steep hills.[2]
Reconstruction
Glogovac is the spiritual focal point for this area. Seventy five years after the monastery was re-built it was destroyed again. This time it was done by the Ustaše and this happened on October 14, 1944. Around 1960, the monastery was sufficiently re-built to be used as a parish church. In 1999, complete reconstruction was started and it was finished in 2005.[3] Left of the main building, work on building St. George's camp has started. Another project underway is the finishing of a building for pilgrims.
