The wooden church in the Monastery was built between 1560-1633 on the site of a monastery. The church has a rectangular plan with polygonal apse. The tower is low, pavilion came out slightly, and the square base and octagonal helmet below. In the tower is a bell cast in 1679.

The front door was once painted, as was the entrance wall, but now it is no longer visible. A few faces can be distinguished in the pronaos. The painting of the naos realized in 1783 is attributed to the painter Gheorghe from Desești. In 2000, 22 icons and altar doors were stolen from this church.

The police captured some of the Roma authors with some stolen pieces, but more than half of them were crossed. The church today is used by Greek-Catholic and Orthodox believers.
