The monastery is founded about XII-XIII century and it’s located below the peak Kralyov kamuk at the locality of Varadil. The story connects it with the operation of the Chieftain Kralio - protector of the local people from the atrocities of the Ottoman Empire. It has been burned several times but was rebuilt again by the native people. During the memorable events of October 1912 here was stationed HQ of the 21 Infantry Regiment Srednogorski and exactly here the commander of the regiment made the decision to fight for the freedom and liberation of The Rhodopes region.
