It is traditionally believed that monastery StaroHopovo was built by Despot DjuradjBranković by the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century, although the historical records mention it for the first time in 1546. The monastery church is dedicated to Saint Pantaleimon (or Pantaleon). A new church was built in 1752 on the foundations of an older one.
The church iconostasis dating back to the end of the 18th century was made in Rococo style and covered with gold. The throne icons were painted by JankoHalkozović. The monastery was damaged during the World War II and only some icons were preserved. The last reconstruction of the monastery was carried out in 2008.
Present day church of the StaroHopovo Monastery is small structure, but probably among the most beautiful monasteries of Serbia, thanks
