  • Banjska Monastery,, is a Serb Orthodox monastery near Zvečan in the north of Kosovo. The monastery, along with St. Stephen's Church was built between 1313 and 1317 and was founded by the Serb King Stefan Uroš II Milutin, one of the most powerful Balkan rulers of the period and one of the most powerful rulers of the entire Nemanjić dynasty. Milutin built the church as his burial place and it is there that he was first laid to rest. However, following the Battle of Kosovo in 1389 his body was moved to Trepča and then in 1460 to the Bulgarian city of Sofia, where it lies to this day. The monastery shared the fate of its founder. The monumental building with its church, library, monks' quarters and "imperial palace" began to fall into disrepair very early. At the beginning of the 15th century, a fire destroyed the library and in the second half of the same century the monastery was probably abandoned. Kuprešić, an author writing about his travels, mentions that the monastery was razed to the ground in the 16th century on the orders of the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, as Christians who had fled Turkish slavery were gathering in it. St. Stephen's church, which was almost totally destroyed, was turned into a mosque in the 19th century and served as such until World War I. The first conservation activity was carried out in 1939 and again in 1990, when the church was partly rebuilt. Banjska Monastery is one of the few for which the founding charter has been preserved. From it we can see that the monastery was granted a large estate at its founding, of 75 villages and 8 pastures. As the complex was built as the final resting place of a king, the Bishopric was "upgraded" to a stavropegial monastery - roughly translated, an Imperial Monastery, fourth by rank in the state. The building works were led by Archbishop Danilo II, at that time a prior, later a Serb Archbishop. He was a close confidant of the king, as well as a man of letters and great knowledge. According to medieval sources, as well as oral tradition, Banjska was one of the most beautiful Serb monasteries, built in the style of the Raška school, which was used for all royal mausoleums, from Stefan Nemanja's Studenica monastery to Emperor Dušan's Saint Archangels Monastery.
  • Das Kloster Banjska ist ein serbisch-orthodoxes Kloster, das ursprünglich zwischen 1313 und 1317 vom serbischen König Stefan Uroš II. Milutin errichtet wurde. Das Kloster liegt auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Zvečan im Kosovo am Flüsschen Banjska. Erbaut wurde das Kloster als letzte Ruhestätte für den serbischen König Stefan Uroš II. Milutin. Er wurde nach seinem Tod 1321 dort beigesetzt. Als die Osmanen 1389 Serbien angriffen, wurde sein Leichnam umgebettet. Das Kloster wurde von den Osmanen zerstört. Sie errichteten dort ein Militärlager und eine kleine Moschee. Erst 1912 wurden die Osmanen vertrieben. 1938 wurde das Katholikon des Klosters teilweise wiederhergestellt. Weitere konservatorische und archäologische Arbeiten wurden nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg durchgeführt und 1990 mit einer Erneuerung der Klosterkomplexes begonnen. Am 15. August 2004 konnte das restaurierte Kloster wieder eingeweiht werden.
  • Het Klooster Banjska is een Servisch-orthodox klooster gelegen in Kosovo. Het ligt in de gemeente Zvečan. Volgens traditie, werd het gesticht door koning Stefan Uroš II Milutin tussen 1313 en 1317. Milutin bouwde het klooster als begraafplaats. Hij werd hier oorspronkelijk zelf dan ook begraven. Na de Slag op het Merelveld in 1389 werd zijn lichaam verplaatst naar Trepča en in 1460 naar de Bulgaarse hoofdstad Sofia. Het klooster raakte mettertijd in verval en van de 19e eeuw tot de Eerste Wereldoorlog werd de Sint-Stefanus kerk door de Turkse heersers gebruikt als moskee. In 1939 werd de heilige mis weer gevierd in de kerk en in 1990 werd het gebouw grotendeel gerestaureerd.
