Šišatovac Monastery

The first reliable facts illustrating the life of the monastery date back to the mid 16th century.

A great benefactor of Šišatovac Monastery was Sekula Vitković (1687–1754) who in 1731 was appointed regimental commander of the Danube Serbian Militia.

It was through a donation by Vikentije Popović-Hadžilovac, the Bishop of Vršac, that the new, extant church building was constructed in 1778.

During World War II, the monastery and its church suffered heavy damages at the hands of Croatian Ustasha fascists.

Šišatovac Monastery was declared Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1990, and it is protected by Republic of Serbia.
