According to tradition it was founded in the Middle Ages, but it was built in the early 16th century. In 1693 the Moštanica monks founded the Komogovina Monastery. Between 1556 and 1993 the monastery was destroyed seven times. During World War II the monastery was a site of Ustashe crimes against Serbs.
