The Ascension Monastery was built on the northern slopes of Ovčar mountain. Due to its location in the gorge, it is not accessible to the views of travelers passing through the area.
One can only assume that the monastery was built on the foundations of the old monastery church, but there is no more precise information about it. Thanks to a manuscript gospel written in the Ascension in 1570, we are sure that the monastery existed in the sixteenth century.
The monastery was probably destroyed, like most other monasteries in the gorge, during the Great Migration in 1690. After several unsuccessful attempts at restoration, it was not until the 1930s that Bishop Nikolaj Velimirovic set about restoring this monastery.
The monastery's architecture is characterized by a single nave structure with a low dome and a semicircular altar apse. Two marble rosettes, decorated with floral ornaments, are preserved in the parish and the central part of the temple. The iconostasis of the Church of the Ascension Monastery is made up of icons of relatively small size, due to the modest size of the church. Monastic glory is the Ascension of the Lord.
