The monastery complex was built by Diicu Buicescu, high official during Matei Basarab's reign. The rare book storeroom is found in the cells on the south side. In the abbey there are icons, religious items, priestly garbs, and rare books. It is worth mentioning the four imperial icons manufactured in the princely workshop at Târgovişte, sleeping partner being Marco Danovici, a high official during Matei Basarab's reign, for his construction at Sâmbureşti (Olt).
