Rostuše (Macedonian: Ростуше) is a village and seat of the municipality of Mavrovo i Rostuše, North Macedonia.

History

In the Middle Ages the village was known as Radostuša. In 1426 Gjon Kastrioti and his three sons (one being Skanderbeg) donated the right to the proceeds from taxes collected from the villages Rostuše and Trebište and from the church of Saint Mary, which was in one of them, to Hilandar.[1]

From 1929 to 1941, Rostuše was part of the Vardar Banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

Culture

A church dedicated to the Holy Mother of God was dedicated in 2023, a reconstruction of an older church.[2] Saint Jovan Bigorski Monastery is located nearby.

Demographics

Rostuše has traditionally been inhabited by Orthodox Macedonians and a Torbeš population.[3]

According to the 2002 census, the village had a total of 872 inhabitants.[4] Ethnic groups in the village include:[4]
