Arbanasi monastery the Assumption of Virgin Mary

This is the second monastery in the Arbanasi village, Veliko Tarnovo region. It is the smaller one and was constructed in the northwestern part of the village. In the first years of the Ottoman yoke it was a going and quite wealthy one, but later it was devastated, went to ruin and was abandoned. It was in 1680 when the new monastery church was raised as it is still existing. It is a low-rise prolonged basilica having two narthexes, as the spacious chapel Holy Trinity is situated in its northern part. In 1716 the monk Daniel of Troyan built houses and restored the activity of the monastery. In 1762 the church and the chapel was restored again and wall-painted. Despite the years have influenced them, they still have their art worth. The ancient embossed icon of the Holy Mary is a real value
