See the famous iconostasis of the church.The monastery is located on the shore of the Crna river, in the vicinity of the village of Polosko, in the region of Kavadarci. The church is dedicated to St. George. It is deemed to originate from either the XIII or XIV centuries. A 1340 charter of King Dusan states that his brother Dragusin was buried in this monastery. Thus, on request of his mother, Dusan converted it into an appendage of the Hilandar monastery. Around 1378, the Dejanovici brothers converted it again, this time into an appendage of Mount Athos's monastery of St. Pantheleimon. In 1584 there were 5-6 monks in the monastery, lead by Prior Paisij. In either 1599 or 1609, the monastery was fresco painted by Prior Sava and Partenius the monk. The frescoes reflect the cult of Ilarion Megleski. There is a XVI century note in the Menaion for the month of March, according to which he lived in this monastery.
