The Pustinja Monastery (Serbian: Манастир Пустиња, romanized: Manastir Pustinja) is a Serbian Orthodox monastery in village Poćuta near Valjevo in Central Serbia.[1]
According to local legends this monastery was built in the 13th century by king Dragutin. Scientific researches found that the monastery was actually built in 1622 on the remnants of the older monastery which was built in the 11th century.[2] The construction of the monastery has been completed on 25 June 1622.[3]

Iznad zapadnih vrata unutar crkve je natpis koji kaže da je gradnja započela u mesecu martu a bila završena 25. juna 1622. godine.
