[1] It is not known who and when the monastery was built, but based on its stylistic characteristics, i.e. belonging to the Raška style and similar to the church of St. Achille, places its origin at the end of the 13th century.

[2] The monastery church was rebuilt in 1798 by the monk Jaćim Karlaga (a native of Foča) and the people.

In the middle of the 19th century, four surrounding villages belonged to the monastery as parish branches: Dobrača, Trešnjevica, Stupčevići and Latvica.

Its name was changed after a heavy rain (cloudburst) with a torrent, which completely destroyed the monastery complex.

In the interwar period, the monastery buildings were built under the direction of elder Domentijan Zdravković.
