The monastery site and the surrounding village is now a suburb of the city of Kaposvár in southwestern Hungary.
In 1256 the members of the Genere Győr had given their Zselicszentjakab family monastery to Pannonhalma Archabbey.
The Somogy County villages suffered great devastation during the Turkish wars, and Zselicszentjakab monastery was also destroyed.
Architectural comparisons proved the eastern connections of the central space, with four columns.
Ruins of a central spaced chapel can also be found north of the monastery buildings.
