history
The village of Mânăstire was first mentioned in 1503 when the monastery founded by Georg Brancovici was built. The village inhabited by Serbs was built around the building , which owes its name to the monastery (Romanian: Mânăstire = monastery). Over the centuries the monastery has been destroyed several times, but has been rebuilt again and again. The last reconstruction took place in 1803. Many valuables of the monastery were brought to Karlovitz in Vojvodina for safekeeping . Over time, Romanians also settled in Mânăstire.
After the Treaty of Trianon on June 4, 1920, which resulted in the trisection of the Banat, Mânăstire fell to the Kingdom of Romania . As a result of the land reform of 1921, the monastery property was expropriated, parceled out and distributed to the poor farmers. In 1925, 25 Romanian families from the Turda and Someş districts settled in Mânăstire. In the interwar period, the Serbs began to leave the village. Today the village is mostly inhabited by Romanians.
St. George Monastery
The Saint George Monastery in Mânăstire was built in 1503 and is one of five Serbian Orthodox monasteries in Romania. The monastery was founded by the Brancovici family. Georg Brancovici, who called himself Brother Maxim as a monk, was the first archbishop of Wallachia . The late Baroque style church, built in 1793, is located in the courtyard of the monastery . The church, dedicated to Saint George , houses a relic of the skull bone of Saint George as well as a chain link with which Saint Peter was chained.
After the communists came to power in 1946, the monastery was expropriated and operations ceased. The premises of the monastery were used for various purposes. First soldiers were quartered in the monastery, then the LPG moved in. In the 1980s, when the COMTIM pig fattening and meat processing company opened a section in Birda, the workers were billeted here. Parts of the facility were also used as a grain store.
After the political change in 1989, the monastery was rebuilt and the Serbian Orthodox Church of Saint George was extensively restored in 2011 on behalf of the Romanian and Serbian ministries of culture.
