I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like.
In 1670, it had the largest brotherhood of all monasteries on Fruška Gora: 90 monks and 12 elders. In 1690, during the Great Serbian Migration, the monks fled the monastery and moved to Szentendre taking valuables, relics and artifacts with them. They returned to Krušedol in 1697. When the Ottomans were retreating in front of Prince Eugene of Savoy during the Austro-Turkish War of 1716-1718, they ransacked the monastery and burned it, but it was rebuilt later.[1]
During World War II, the monastery wasn't burned, but was looted and damaged, nevertheless.[1]
Characteristics
The church was originally built in the Morava architectural school style. However, after the 18th century reconstruction, seven church windows were reworked in the Baroque style. Above one of the windows on the east side, there is a sundial. It tells time from 6:00 to 17:00.[1]
The monastery has its own flower garden, loans and a park. It is gated, and the entry park gate is made in the shape of the church.[1]
Interior
Today's icons and paintings have been symbolically adapted from the original, Medieval period, to the Baroque era.[1] The iconostasis contains icons from different periods, from the 16th century to the 19th century. The original frescoes of the interior were painted in 1545, but they were overpainted in oil technique between 1745 and 1757. The 18th-century paintings are the works by Jov Vasilijević and Stefan Tenecki.
The rich monastery vault has been looted several times. Part of the artifacts was returned later. The valuable either belongs originally to the Branković family, or to the other Serbian noble families. There is also a voluminous library. Old church books were brought by the hegumen Amfilohije from Russia in 1651. In 1662, the "Service and akathist to the Saints" was written in Krušedol, so as a rich annals.[1]
It has been described that "what Studenica was for the Medieval Serbia, Krušedol Monastery was for the Serbs in Podunavlje". Many artifacts from the monastery vault are today kept in the Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Church.[1]
Because of the large library, many scholars used to visit and stay in the monastery, including poet Laza Kostić. Author Dejan Medaković wrote about Krušedol, especially of the paintings.[1]
