Ostrog monastery stands on a hill between Danilovgrad and Niksic. The monastery was built by Vladika St.Vasilije of Zahumlje and Herzegovina, one of the four Montenegrin saints, in the 17th century. His relics are kept in the Monastery. The relics of St.Vasilije and the monastery are believed to have healing power. The monastery is a major sanctuary and a favorite visiting place for Orthodox Christians.
The monastery has two churches. The Upper Church, built in a cave, was constructed in 1665. The wall paintings in the Upper Church, from the same period, are attributed to the artist Radul. The Lower Church dates from the 18th century. Among its treasures, the Church owns a prayer book (Mineon) from 1732 and decorated candlesticks from 1779. The two monasteries stand one above the other, in a romantic landscape (the climate is very pleasant here, with the smallest difference between winter and summer temperatures to be found in our country, even though the height above sea level is 900 meters.) From here there is a beautiful view of the Zeta river, and its gentle and green surroundings. From its foundation onwards, Ostrog was known not only as a shrine but also as a center of resistance and action against Turks.
