Monastery of the St. Archangel Michael - Berovo
The Monastery Saint Archangel Michael was built in 1818 between the two old churches, 'St Gjorji' from the right side at about hundred meters and 'Saint Bogorodica' on the left, at the entrance of Bregainica gorge, where Berovo was located in the 19th century. The construction method of the monastery is associated with a legend that the Berovo citizens proudly narrate. The church with a large porch, built in the architectural opus in the 19th century, dominates the monastery courtyard. In its interior the characters of saints are painted in a distinctive style that deviates from Byzantine canons. The iconostasis that separates the altar from the middle section has built in 10 so-called royal icons with superb artistic achievement. In its most thriving period, the monastery numbered up to sixty (nuns) in a rich developed economy, a theological school, and weaver. The nuns' chambers are located on the south, west and northern side of the church. They were built in genuine old Maleshevo architecture of basements, with 16 rooms in total and 560 square meters area. The monastery activities are closely connected to the Razlovec (1876) and Kresnen (1878) uprisings. The monastery is available and open to each well-intentioned visitor.
