The Kontolina Monastery is a historic chapel, the only remnant of the Kontolina Monastery. The Monastery is literally nestled in the ravine, in a verdant area of chestnut and fir trees, in an environment that exudes a strong monastic tone. Only the catholicon, which has been repaired, has survived.
A few rare frescoes by Koulidas (1767) are preserved. According to a Patriarchal Seal of 1628, the monastery was built in the early 15th century and operated between 1628 and 1834, when it was dissolved after the decree of Otto, as in 1826 it had been destroyed by the hordes of Ibrahim in retaliation for the defeat suffered by his army in the area of Kastanitsa. The route from Kastanitsa to Monastiri is approximately 12 km, three of which are on asphalt and the rest on a dirt road with good pass ability.
