A monastery with a magnificent and unique view of the surrounding sand pyramids.

Built in the 13th century, Rojen Monastery, also known as the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin, was demolished and rebuilt several times, especially after the passage of the Turks. Today's monastery, still in operation, dates mainly from the 18th century. The murals in the church and refectory (on the first floor on the left as you enter) as well as the remarkable iconostases and stained glass windows are all 200 years old.

Superbe petit monastère en visite libre. Très agréable en fin de journée quand il y a très peu de touristes.
Monastère accessible à pied à partir de Melnik au cours d'une randonnée d'environ 1 heure, en remontant le lit de la rivière à sec qui traverse le village. Attention, ça monte raide à la fin, mais vues magnifiques sur les pyramides de Melnik.
