Beočin Monastery is an active Serbian Orthodox female monastery located on the northern slopes of the Fruška Gora mountain range. The current single-nave church structure was reconstructed in 1731, replacing an older building first mentioned in historical records in 1566. The architectural design features a blend of traditional Serbian Byzantine style with distinct Baroque influences, particularly evident in its ornate iconostasis. The monastery complex is situated within a landscaped park containing exotic tree species, including ancient sequoias. It serves as a spiritual site and remains under the jurisdiction of the Eparchy of Srem. The monastery has historically played a significant role in preserving Serbian cultural identity during various regional conflicts. It currently maintains a quiet, secluded environment maintained by its sisterhood.
