St. Athanasius' Monastery Church, Erind
St. Athanasius Monastery (Albanian: Kisha e Shën Thanasit) in Erind, a village in the Lunxhër municipality, Gjirokastër County, Albania, is a 16th-century monastery. It is not part of the List of Religious Cultural Monuments of Albania.
History[edit]
The monastery was built in the 16th century, and in 1911 had an annual revenue of 40 Ottoman liras.[1] Frederik Stamati, director of the Laboratory of Conservation in the Institute of Popular Culture, said in 2016 that the church is now in a miserable condition and public funds are needed for its restoration before the building collapses.[2]
