the medieval monastery included a church, an inn and a water mill. Today, the mill is no longer there, and the inn has no use value. During the construction of the railway that passed in the immediate vicinity of the monastery in 1887 - 1888, the engineers, the contractors, were aware that vibrations and tremors due to the passage of the compositions could be disastrous for the building, so they installed two transverse steel fasteners as a preventive measure, with which they wanted to prevent appearance of blisters. It was certainly good, but not enough, and two hundred years of railway traffic next to it had a disastrous effect. Today, the monastery is badly damaged, and it is in urgent need of restoration. In the late Turkish period, literacy was taught there. References Serbian Orthodox monasteries in Serbia Medieval sites in Serbia Medieval Serbian Orthodox monasteries
