The monastery’s church, St. John the Precursor, is consecrated in 1856 and represents a massive rectangular building with 5 domes. The outside is decorated with impressive stone plastics. The monastery is relatively easy to reach by car, following the road from the town of Montana to the smaller town of Chiprovtsi. The offroad to the village of Georgi Damyanovo is then to be taken.
