About this building
The monastery was founded in 1395 by a group of Serbian monks who came from Bosnia. During the first centuries of its life, it was abandoned on several occasions due to war or famine. In 1777 the monks decided to rebuild the monastery in a new location, due to the instability of the land where it had been built centuries before. The monastery was finally rebuilt once again in 1959, as the previous building disappeared under the waters of the artificial lake Peruća following the installation of a hydroelectric power station.
