Description
The Church of St. Nicholas is situated next to the monastery's katholikon in the Studenica Monastery. It was built at the end of the 12th century (Gsnd XIV 215), probably simultaneously with the Church of the Holy Mother of God or King Radoslav's narthex at the latest. The ground plan shows a single nave edifice with a semicircular apse. It was built with stone and tufa. Some fragments of fresco paintings have survived and are dated to the 1230s (until the middle of the 13th century the latest). It bears certain similarities with frescoes of the Church of the Virgin Ljeviška in Prizren.
