Monastery of Saint Nicolas - Dobres
Under jurisdiction of Miljkov Monastery

Dobresevo is a filed between a forest and the right bank of river Morava, which belongs to the village Glozane and is about 1.5 km away from Miljkov Monastery. This field hosts ruins of a modest stone church. Monastery was active during 1467, 1476/78. However, it was documented as "abandoned farmland Dobresevo" in 1516. Meanwhile, Turkish encumber documents about Branicevo mention the existence of a Monastery Saint Nicolas next to Miljkov Monastery. These documents testify that two monks lived in the monastery during mid-16th century. They were paying taxes of 424 akces. During Murat III one monk was paying 300 akces in taxes.
Austrian census of 1713 shows two monasteries in Glozane such are, Zlatenac and Dobresevo - "Dobreschave, ein Kloster".
Today, only remain of the monastery is about two meters tall stone-wall that encloses the altar section.
The restoration began in 2003. Many benefactors from Svilajnac and its villages, habitants of Glozane as well as nuns of Miljkov Monastery make an enormous effort in order for the monastery to sing and live in God's liturgy as in earlier centuries.

A road of about 600 meters was the first to be built. Likewise, the construction plan was drawn up and thanks to few benefactors necessary construction material was provided. So the reconstruction started.

 On the day of Saint Martyr John Vladimir (22/4 of June) Bishop of Branichevo Dr Ignatije (Midic) consecrated the foundation accompanied with monks, clergy, benefactors, local inhabitants and guests.

Plans and whishes are to complete the restoration of the church until “slava” of St. Nicolas.

Therefore, we welcome any support that would help this God-dear effort.
