The monastery existed in the 15th century. In the documents it appears for the first time in 1431. Then the old wooden house was rebuilt from the foundations under the reign of Radu cel Mare and his brother Vlad cel Tanar (Vladut) between 1499-1501 and 1510-1512. It was painted between 1514-1515 by the famous painter Dobromir from Targoviste, helped by Jitian and Stanciu.
Suffering the robbery of Gabriel Bathory's troops in January 1611, and the damage caused by the troops of Imperial General Heissler in 1689, it was repaired in 1713 and re-engraved by Constantin Brancoveanu's great master, Constantin, aided by Preda, Nicolae and Radu.
Between 1845 and 1853, extensive works were carried out to restore the church and restore the cells initiated by the ruler Gheorghe Bibescu, the church then repainted by the painter A. Derigny.
Between 1912 and 1940, the Nicolae Filipescu Military High School operated here, before moving to Breaza following the devastating 1940 earthquake.
All the buildings that surround the Church today were rebuilt from the ground up between 1953-1958, by the care of Father Patriarch Justinian, and the church is the only preserved building from the old monastic ensemble.
The current painting in the church is new, made by the painter Arhimandrite Sofian Boghiu.
In the narthex of the church, which has become a royal tomb since 1456, are the tombs of the voivodes of Targoviste: Vladislav II, Radu cel Mare and his sister Caplea, Vlad cel Tanar, Vlad innecatul, Patrascu cel Bun, Mihai Movila (lord of Moldavia, died in Targoviste) and Radu Badica.
Between 1912 and 1913, two white marble sarcophagi created by the sculptor Franz Storch were placed on either side of the narthex. They houses the tomb of Radu cel Mare and the head chest of Mihai Viteazul.
At present it is a monastery of nuns who intertwine prayer with work.
