Moračnik Monastery (Serbian Cyrillic: Манастир Морачник) is a Serbian Orthodox monastery built on the Moračnik island on the Skadar Lake, modern-day Montenegro. It is positioned across the village Bobovište whose population used it as their church before they converted to Islam.[3]
History
The name of the monastery is derived from the name of the island. The monastery was mentioned in the chapter issued by Balša III in 1417 by which he granted a salt evaporation pond to the monastery.[4] It was built after 1400,[5] probably between 1403 and 1417.[6] The monastery was so poor in the 17th century that in 1665 its hegumen, together with hegumen and monks from Vranjina Monastery, requested help from Catholic bishop of Scutari Pjetër Bogdani.[7] Until 1997, when the first liturgy was done, the monastery was defunct.[8] Pavle Rovinski thought that this monastery was part of nearby Prečista Krajinska Monastery.[9]
Layout
The monastery was surrounded with a stone wall and consisted of the following buildings: a church dedicated to the Holy Mother of God, residence, communal dining-hall and a tower with a chapel on top.[10]

Ako se prihvati teza da je njen ktitor bio Balša III Đurđević, koji je stupio na presto 1403. godine/ onda bi se vrijeme gradnje crkve moglo fiksirati između 1404. i 1417. godine, kada se prvi put pominje u dokumentima.
