The Monastery of Saint Luke is a Serbian Orthodox monastery located in the village of Bošnjane in central Serbia. The monastery serves as an active religious community and local spiritual centre, known for its peaceful surroundings and traditional ecclesiastical architecture. It remains an important place of worship and pilgrimage for the surrounding region.

The Monastery of Saint Luke is dedicated to Saint Luke the Evangelist, one of the most venerated figures in Orthodox Christianity. Situated in the rural landscape of Bošnjane, the monastery reflects the enduring tradition of Serbian monastic life that has shaped the cultural and spiritual identity of the region for centuries. Although more modest in scale than some of Serbia’s major medieval monasteries, it preserves the characteristic features of Orthodox religious architecture, including a central church, monastic buildings, and landscaped grounds designed for contemplation and worship.

Over time, the monastery has developed into a centre for local religious gatherings, feast-day celebrations, and community events. Like many Serbian monasteries, it combines spiritual functions with the preservation of religious customs, iconography, and liturgical traditions. Its tranquil setting and active monastic life make it both a place of devotion and a destination for visitors interested in the religious heritage of central Serbia.
