[1] There are no proper historical records which confirm the origin of the monastery and everything known about it is according to the various traditional writings.

[1] In 1791, a hieromonk Josif Tronošac transcribed the 1526 Tronoša Chronicle, the most important Serbian literary memorial in the first half of the 18th century.

During the Battle of Cer in 1914, Serbian wounded soldiers were transported to the monastery for medical treatments.

In August 1941, a local Chetnik rebellion liberated Loznica ("the first town liberated from Germans in the occupied Europe") in the Battle of Loznica, and Tronoša's hegumen Georgije Bojić was active in the planning and conducting of the operation.

When German reoccupied the area in October 1941 they burned the monastery books and punched through one of the walls with the cannonball.

Traditionally, the original fountain is attributed to the mythological Jug Bogdan (based on the historical Vratko Nemanjić, though) and his nine sons, the Jugović brothers, hence the ten pipes.

The custom of casting the candles and the ceremony of bringing them into the church and lighting them has been placed on the Serbian list of the intangible cultural heritage.

[1] The monastery has been protected since 22 December 1948 and was declared a cultural monument of great importance in 1979.

[6] Archimandrite Stefan Jovanović was born in the nearby village of Tekeriš, on the Cer.

He was a noted spiritual leader, patriot, rebel and the first teacher of Vuk Stefanović Karadžić.
