The monastery of St. Joachim Osogovski is set amongst verdant woods near town of Kriva Palanka. It was founded in the 12th century and rebuilt many times during the ensuing centuries.
The monastery complex includes the two temples of St. Joakim Osogovski (the Large monastery church) and Holy Mother of God (the Small monastery church which was built between 1847-1851 by Andrea Damjanov), a three-story dormitory, bell tower with a charnel house at the bottom, passage building, summer garden and kitchen, tile-building or watch-house, new dormitories and a residency of the Head of the Macedonian Orthodox Church.
The most impressive wall paintings were done by Dimitar Andonov Papradishki and its frescoes are especially characteristic of the 19th century.
The monastery complex had always been an important cultural, religious and educational center. Art colonies, scientific gatherings and seminars are regularly organized in this complex.
