A beautiful place, not far from the village of Sugubina. The whole area is very interesting, nearby is the Annunciation monastery, Rudnik mountain. It is rich in history and tradition, which is contributed by the small museum within the monastery, which has preserved various objects and the inn from the time of Karađorđe, where he often stayed. Semi-precious stones, several types of opals and similar minerals can be found in the area. Warm recommendations for visiting the entire region. ************ A beautiful place, not far from the village of Sugubina.

We carry very bad impressions. It is a ritual for us to visit the monasteries by bicycle, in full gear of course (indecently dressed for the church), with the desire to make the trip more interesting. On a Saturday, a summer day, around noon, we find the door closed, I knock on the door on purpose so that someone can hear us and offer at least water, we notice that someone has heard us but doesn't want to come out, pretending to be silly. The garden cools down in the fountain, we wash, fill our water bottles with cold water, it's a good uphill climb to the monastery. We came to hear something about the shrine, to light candles for health, but... Everything went to hell, including the clergy. It is important that the air conditioner is suspended (they have moved) and the sign that we do not enter in shorts, stupidity. Two stars for nature and the road to the monastery, the rest is HORRIBLE.

Manastir podignut na prelepom šumovitom mestu na obroncima Rudnika, vezan za našu istoriju i održavanje prvih skuština u porobljenoj SRBIJI. Zimi se teže izlazi, ali redovno se čisti put od Stragara. 🙏.

Beautiful welcoming monastery.

(Translated by Google) Hidden in a dense forest by the Voljaava stream on the northeast slope of the mine, near Stragar, there is the Voljača Monastery with a church dedicated to Sv. To Michael and Gabriel. The monastery, the endowment of Mikhail Koncinovic, the despot of Stefan Lazarevic, was rebuilt at the beginning of the 15th century on the remains of an old church dating from 1050. During the First Serbian Uprising, the monastery played an important role and Karadjordje Petrovic was often hiding in it. Built in 1765 and belonging to the oldest konakas in Serbia, in 1805 the seat of the ruling Soviet of Serbia, the first Karadjordje government, was headed by Matija Nenadovic. The church of the monastery of Voljavča was erected in the building traditions of the Moravian school, in the form of a trilogy, with a dome above the central area and semicircular apses on the north, east and south sides. Numerous damage and contempt have completely destroyed the painted decoration, which is known to have existed in the 17th century, so that there are no more paintings inside the church today (Original) Skriven u gustoj šumi uz Voljavački potok na severistočnoj padini Rudnika, u blizini Stragara, nalazi se manastir Voljavča sa crkvom posvećenom Sv. Mihailu i Gavrilu. Manastir, zadužbina Mihaila Končinovića, vlastelina despota Stefana Lazarevića, obnovljen je početkom 15 veka na ostacima stare crkve iz 1050. godine. vreme Prvog srpskog ustanka manastir je imao značajnu ulogu a u njemu se često skrivao i Karađorđe Petrović. U manastirskom konaku, izgrađenom 1765. godine i koji spada u najstarije konake u Srbiji, 1805. godine je bilo sedište Praviteljstvujuščeg sovjeta srpskog, prve Karađorđeve vlade na čijem je čelu bio Matija Nenadović. Crkva manastira Voljavča podignuta je u graditeljskim tradicijama Moravske škole, u obliku trilista, sa kupolom iznad centralnog prostora i polukružnim apsidama na severnoj, istočnoj i južnoj strani. Brojna oštećenja i preziđivanja u potpunosti su uništila slikanu dekoraciju, za koju se zna da je postojala u 17. veku, tako da danas u unutrašnjosti crkve više nema živopisa

Great Serbian shrine. The place where the uprising against the Turks was launched. The place where the modern Serbian state was constituted with the first government.

A unique religious and historical place. It is located about 5 minutes drive from Stragari, 20 minutes from Topola, and about 30 minutes from Kragujevac. The monastery is nicely decorated and everyone is welcome. This was the seat of the first Serbian government in 1805. There is a beautifully decorated memorial room and the sisterhood of the monastery will kindly and gladly allow you to see it. The remains of the hero from the Second Serbian Uprising, Tanasko Rajic, who was born in Stragari, are buried in the yard of the monastery. In the small monastery shop you can find religious handicrafts, fruit liqueurs and Sumadija brandy.

Monastery richest in Serbian history. It was place of first serbian gouverment after turks and it have mini museum with autenthic items from serbian houses from 18 and 19 century. And its in the midle of the forest so nature is werry beautifull. Also have warm water spring, with contstant temperature of 25 and plenty of oxigen in water.

(Translated by Google) Deep in a forest with a tidy environment, the approach could be better. (Original) Duboko u šumi sa sređenom okolinom, prilaz bi mogao biti bolji.

Veoma vazno mesto za srpsku istoriju...

(Translated by Google) The Monastery of Voljavca, dedicated to the Holy Archangels, is a beautiful Monastery, in a beautiful place, and it is beautiful to go and pray. A peaceful place, surrounded by nature and of course the Archangels of God. (Original) Манасир Вољавча, посвећен Свеим Архангелима, је прелеп Манасир, на прелепом месту, и прелепо је отићи и помолити се. Мирно место, окружено природом и наравно Архангелима Божијим.

Peace, peace, peace... and holiness 😇

A well-organized monastery with picturesque surroundings. My recommendations for a visit

Praise God for everything. Peace, silence, spiritual energy and faith in God are medicine for the soul.

One of the best places to visit, peaceful and silent. Not for those looking for entertainment. Orthodox christianity at it's best. Glory to Christ.

Karađorđev monastery...he hid from the Turks there, the first session of the former Soviet government was held there (the first Serbian government)

Divine, beautiful, pleasant, blissful place, warm welcome, kind word and comfort. Be sure to visit, Mother Evgenija is the embodiment of prudence, justice and love! Lord God bless us! ⛪️🙏💐

(Translated by Google) Another in a series of monasteries in the Šumadija district in Stragari, below Rudnik and near Topola, which is worth visiting is Voljavča. A beautiful monastery where, in addition to enjoyment, peace, tranquility, you can buy wonderful home-made products, juices, honey, balms, liqueurs. (Original) Još jedan u nizu manastira u šumadinskom okrugu u mestu Stragari, ispod Rudnika a u blizini Topole koji treba posetiti je Voljavča. Prelepi manastir u kome pored uživanja, mira, spokoja možete kupiti divne domaće proizvode, sokove, med, meleme, likere.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful monastery, to which moments from our history are connected....it is also connected to the remains of Tanasko Rajić (Original) Леп Манастир,за који су везани моменти из наше историје ....везује се и за посмртне остатке Танаска Рајића
