The monastery, which is dedicated to the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos,[1] was established during the 15th century, with a cathedral constructed around 1508 and painted with murals by Vicko Lavrov from Dubrovnik in 1517.

The monastery remained a seat of the Metropolitans of Herzegovina until the Venetian overseas dominion destroyed it in 1694.

As of late 2016, the monastery remains on the Provisional List for status as a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
