Reconstruction of the Monastery of St. Prohor of Pčinja

The King’s lodging in the monastery of St. Father Prohor Pcinjski was built in 1912-1913. on the ruins of an older inn built in 1832, known as “Pop Nesha’s Building”.
Reconstruction under the patronage of His Majesty King Peter I the Liberator in 1912-13. It was built according to the found previous functional scheme, very likely following the older, medieval basis, according to which the building was intended to house the monks, and partly also the guests of the monastery. This is indicated by the existence of stables on the ground levels of both wings of the inn.
In the great renovation of 1912-13. Under the arcaded porch of the western wing (which bears the influence of Mount Athos patterns), warehouses and lodgings for the Argats were formed, and instead of stables on the ground floor of the eastern wing, a large dining room was formed, often referred to as the “people’s dining room”.
Accommodation rooms for monks or rooms for guests are arranged on the ground floors and upper floors of both wings.
In the middle of the 7th century, the entire east wing was remodeled by creating an exhibition space on the floor above the dining room with an exhibition related to the events of the end of the Second World War (ASNOM in 1944).
After removing the setting, this wing was out of use for some time, given that it was neglected and that its basic functional scheme was violated by inappropriate interventions.
