Sarengrad Attractions

Sarengrad sits along the banks of the Danube River. A fort was built here as a control point along the river. The town of Sarengrad developed around the fort, with a Franciscan Monastery established here by Ivan Maroivicki in the 15th century. During the Turkish invasion the fort was destroyed, but the monastery remained in tact. Following the departure of the Turks, monks once again set up in the monastery. Unfortunately during the Patriotic War of 1991 many buildings, including the church and monastery, sustained heavy damage. They have since been restored, as have other buildings and monuments in Sarengrad.
