The monastery was established at the end of the 15th or in the early 16th century.^[1] The monastery remained a seat of the archbishops of Herzegovina until the Venetian overseas dominion destroyed it in 1694.^{[citation needed]} The current monastery building was constructed in 1924. Today, the monastery is renowned for its wine production (in particular from the local Vranac and Žilavka grape varieties) and its wine cellars, one of which dates to the 15th century,^[2] which are a popular tourist attraction.

As of late 2016, the monastery remains on the Provisional List for status as a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.^[3]

On 6 March 2021, the retired Bishop of Zahumlje and Herzegovina (1992–1999), Atanasije was buried in the Chapel of the Resurrection of the Lord in the cemetery of the monastery.^[4]
