Description
The Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo appears for the first time in the document collection of the Archbishop of Ohrid Demetrios Chomatenos. One monk from the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo Gerasimos claimed damages for the properties, which were illegally extorted from his relative by the Priest Moschos (Ὁ γὰρ ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἄνω Πολόγου ὁρμώμενος καὶ ἐν τῇ σεβασμίᾳ μονῇ τῆς ὑπεραγίας δεσποίνης ἡμῶν Θεοτόκου τῇ ἐν Κτεατόβῃ ἀσκούμενος μοναχὸς Γεράσιμος). In the list of 14 abbots of the Serbian church the abbot Theōdorь from the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo occupies the tenth place (htětovskii Theōdorь). The Serbian king Stefan Uroš IV Dušan, together with his son the Young King (mlad kralь) Uroš, confirmed old and several new possessions to the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo. The Serbian emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan donated the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo with villages to the Monastery of Hilandar (U Polozě crьkovь Mati božija Htětovska i sь seli). The monastery was abandoned and fell into decay during the later Ottoman period. The building material from the monastery was used in the construction of the nowadays ruined Baltepe fortress.
