The first church was built in the beginning of the 19th century. Legend has it that the church was founded by a certain bishop Athanasie Lisivencof. In 1841, Romanian and Russian monks arrived. The monastery houses a museum with religious objects, 20 rare books, antique handmade carpets and seven icons, one of them being the oldest icon in Romania (from Greek Mt. Athos).
