Gornje Nerodimlje (Albanian: Nerodimë e Epërme, Serbian Cyrillic: Горње Неродимље) is a village in Ferizaj municipality, in southeastern Kosovo. The village was first mentioned in the Gračanica charters (1311–16) of Serbian King Stefan Milutin.

Geography

The settlement lies in the cadastral area of Gornje Nerodimlje which has 1107 hectares.

History

The village was first mentioned in the Gračanica charters (1311–16) of Serbian King

Gornji and Donji Petrič,[2]
where many charters, letters and other documents were written.

Stefan Milutin died in 1321, in the courtyard of the

Jazak monastery in Fruška Gora (in northern Serbia
).

According to the Ottoman defter (tax registry), there was 71 Serbian households and two Orthodox priests. Several church buildings and ruins are located in the village.

The local monastery and church was built in the 14th century, and renovated in 1700. Up until 1975, a giant black pine tree grew above the church, said to have been planted by Stefan Dušan in 1336.

The Monastery of St. Uroš[4] is situated in a hamlet above the village, and it is said to have been founded by Empress Jelena on the grave of her only son Uroš V. His remains were transferred to Jazak from this church. There are also ruins of the Church of St. Nicholas and foundations of three churches whose dedication is unknown.

Several ethnic Serbs were abducted from the village during the Kosovo War (1998–99).[5] The Church of the Holy Archangels was looted and burnt.[6] Also, all of the Serbian gravestones were desecrated or destroyed.[7]
