[2] The name of the monastery comes from the Bezdin stream which forms a series of swamps with a lot of reeds in its western part, creating at the same time a very picturesque landscape.
The construction of the Holy Bezdin Monastery began in 1539 with the zeal of Iovan Iaksici (Jovan Jakšić) from Nadlac who later lived there.
The monastery was set on fire by the Turks during the Ottoman occupation of Banat, but was not abandoned by the monks, who built a wooden church in which they served until the construction of the current one.
The existence of the Bezdin monastery meant an important moment in the history of the Serbian community in this province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, around the holy place keeping alive the faith and the cohesion of brotherhood of this ethnic group.
[8] Once a true treasure of Orthodoxy, today this towering monastery is in a situation of trembling sadness, almost empty – being inhabited by a single elderly nun, struggling with all possible shortcomings, especially financial ones, but also with terrible loneliness.
