About Krušedol Monastery
Founded at the very start of the 16th century by Archbishop Maksim, born Despot Đorđe Branković, Krušedol was long the most important of the Fruška Gora monasteries, the seat of the Diocese of Srem and the resting place of the Branković family. Its present look dates from the 18th century, when the church of the Annunciation was rebuilt and wrapped in konaks on four sides. Inside, the walls read like an exhibition, from 16th-century figures on the pillars to an 18th-century repainting, with a Last Judgment on the west façade. Visit in daylight hours, modestly dressed; a monk keeps the souvenir shop.
