Резюме:

Monasteries occupied a significant place in the development of Bulgaria. Their functions were not only spiritual, religious, cultural and social, but also economic. Managing different types of property and agricultural equipment, and obtaining different raw materials, the monasteries had a number of advantages in the development of medieval economy. Source information speaks of craft production and trade activity carried out near them. An important aspect of this issue is the central government’s policy of granting immunities. An indicator for the economic “impulse” turned out to be the degree of cultural development, which inevitably points to charitable acitivies during the period under review. Monasteries were important for Bulgaria’s economic life. The lands belonging to them had certain financial and legal functions, and yielded a significant amount of agricultural resources. In this way, apart from being part of the ecclesiastical, religious, cultural and social life of the country, they blended into its agricultural rhythm.
