Leshok Monastery is wonderful and peaceful place. Lying at 638 metres above sea level it is located on the southeastern side of the mountain Šar Planina. In its complex are the churches of St. Athanasius of Alexandria and the Holy Mother of God Church. The Church of the Holy Virgin, built in 1326, is an excellent example of Byzantine style and architectural tradition. The church has three layers of frescoes. The 1st and bottom layer is from the first time of construction, the second and middle one was added sometime in the 17th century, and the third and top layer was added in 1879. Several marble columns from the original church can still be seen in the Tetovo museum. The monastery dormitories were redecorated from around 1818 and the library was founded and Lešok became a literature and...

Best place to spend the time with your family in a place with nature , kids playground, church and nice restaurant with good service and delicious Macedonian food.The place is also good for a picnic, just put everything on the green grass and enjoy the beautiful nature. Church of the assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is one the oldest churches (1326) in the region. It is highly recommended, and if i have the chance, i would...

Le monastère de Lesok est un véritable joyau niché dans un cadre naturel exceptionnel, à proximité de la ville de Tetovo, en Macédoine du Nord. Facilement accessible en voiture, avec une route bien entretenue, il mérite largement le détour, même si ce n’est pas sur votre itinéraire principal.

Le site est d’une grande beauté et dégage une atmosphère paisible et spirituelle. Le monastère est entouré de collines verdoyantes et d’un décor fleuri très soigné, ce qui en fait un lieu parfait pour se ressourcer, méditer ou simplement profiter du calme.

D’un point de vue historique, le monastère remonte au 14ᵉ siècle et est dédié aux saints Apôtres Pierre et Paul. Il a connu plusieurs phases de destruction et de restauration au fil des siècles, notamment pendant l’Empire ottoman. Aujourd’hui, il est l’un des lieux spirituels les plus respectés de la région, et il abrite également la tombe du poète macédonien Kiril Pejčinović, figure importante de la littérature et de la culture nationale.

La vue depuis le site est superbe, et l’ensemble du lieu est très bien entretenu. Que vous soyez croyant, amateur d’histoire, passionné de culture ou simplement en quête de tranquillité, le monastère de Lesok est une étape que je recommande vivement.

Un endroit chargé d’âme et de beauté, à découvrir...

Kompleks klasztoru w Leszoku obejmuje cerkiew klasztorną św. Atanazego z 1335 roku, cerkiew pw Zaśnięcia Matki Bożej, istniejącą od XIII wieku i wzmiankowaną w dekrecie Stefana Deczańskiego z 1326 roku, a także pozostałości pięciu kościołów i kaplic z okresu średniowiecza. Szczególnie podkreśla się kulturowe i duchowe walory cerkwi św. Atanazego. W klasztorze znajduje się grób i izba pamięci Cyryla Pejčinovica, jednego z największych macedońskich odnowicieli z XIX wieku. Wraz z jego przybyciem ze Świętej Góry w 1818 roku, odrestaurowano klasztorne kwatery i założono bibliotekę klasztorną, dzięki czemu klasztor w Leszku stał się ośrodkiem literackim i edukacyjnym. Był wielokrotnie palony i odnawiany. W 2001 monaster Leszok został zniszczony przez albańskich ekstremistów.. W ciągu kolejnych czterech lat został odbudowany ze srodków z Unii Europejskiej, zaś w 2007 ponownie poświęcony przez arcybiskupa ochrydzkiego i macedońskiego Stefana. Na miejscu restauracja gdzie można wypić kawę i dobrze zjeść.
