History
The name of the monastery is derived from the name of the island. The monastery was mentioned in the chapter issued by Balša III in 1417 by which he granted a salt evaporation pond to the monastery.[4] It was built after 1400,[5] probably between 1403 and 1417.[6] The monastery was so poor in the 17th century that in 1665 its hegumen, together with hegumen and monks from Vranjina Monastery, requested help from Catholic bishop of Scutari Pjetër Bogdani.[7] During Montenegrin-Ottoman war in 1853 monastery was attacked by Ottoman forces. Defended by three Leković brothers: Mališa, Savo and Andrija from the nearby Godinje village who were badly outnumbered, it was eventually captured while his defenders according to a local folklore died a heroic death.[8] Until 1997, when the first liturgy was done, the monastery was defunct.[9] Pavel Rovinsky thought that this monastery was part of nearby Prečista Krajinska Monastery.[10]

Ako se prihvati teza da je njen ktitor bio Balša III Đurđević, koji je stupio na presto 1403. godine/ onda bi se vrijeme gradnje crkve moglo fiksirati između 1404. i 1417. godine, kada se prvi put pominje u dokumentima.
