According to tradition, the monastery was founded by the Serbian Despot, Vuk Grgurević in 1471; its existence is attested for the first time in 1545–1546. The konak of the monastery dates to the 18th century, and the church houses an iconostasis painted by Uroš Predić in 1902. The monastery is on the Serbian list of Immovable Cultural Heritage of Exceptional Importance.
