Serbian Monasteries 2 - Republic of Serbia

All medieval Serbian churches and monasteries were founded by Serbian rulers and other nobles. There is no data about Monastery Kopoirn, so even now we don’t know who the founder of this monastery was. So, the story is that Despot Stefan Lazarevic is founder of this beautiful place .Stefan Lazarevic was son of Princes Milica and Serbian ruler Prince Lazar ( killed in a battle of Kosovo in 1389).
