The monastery was founded by Alexander II and his wife Catherine in gratitude for the victory in the battle. His son, Michnya II , bestowed the monastery with estates, villages and relics, increasing his prestige in Wallachia . During his reign, the first library in Bucharest was founded in the monastery.
The patriarch of Constantinople Dionysius IV is buried in the monastery.
The monastery was restored in 1969-1974 at the initiative of Patriarch Justinian . After the death of the patriarch in 1977, he was buried in the wall of the monastery.
