The konak (main monastic residence) was built in 1853 at the request of Alexander Karađorđević, at that time the reigning Prince of Serbia.
[8] The port of the monastery became burial ground of almost all members of the Milićević-Lunjevica family, except for Draga, who was buried alongside her husband Aleksandar Obrenović in the St. Mark's Church, Belgrade.
[9] The church consists of a single nave extended by a semicircular apse and preceded by a narthex above which stands a high bell tower; it has an open wooden porch.
The only decorations on the facades consist of a slightly profiled serrated frieze under the roof cornice and lions holding a human head in their paws depicted on the sides of the bell tower.
[4][5] A fresco dating from 1808, the work of the painters Stojan and Jeremije, was copied by Rafailo Marković from Stara Srbija during the restoration of the church between 1939 and 1943; a new iconostasis was then installed.
