The first convent, located at the exit from Berovo leading to the dam and the lake, was built in 1940 in a 19th-century architectural opus, twenty years after the construction of the Monastery of the Holy Archangel Michael, and the first nuns were the daughter-in-law and the daughter of Friar Risto, a son-in-law of Friar Peco.
They had their monastic tonsure (removal of the hair of the head) with a blessing from the Rila Monastery's abbott.
Eugenia I was the first abbess of the convent, the second – Eugenia II, the third – Eugenia III, and the fourth abbess was Eulampia in 1958 by the first Archbishop of Ohrid, Dositheus.
At its peak, in the first half of the twentieth century, the convent numbered up to sixty nuns, with a rich and developed economy, a theological seminary, a weaving mill, and the first single-phase hydro-power plant in this area was in the convent.

The three gates of the church face the town, the river and the pine forest.
A large porch dominates the convent yard and in the dimness of its interior oil lamps lighten images of saints, painted in a characteristic style that is antonymic to Byzantine canons.
Only one icon, that of Noah, painted by George Veljanov from Strumica in 1818.
From 1897 to 1920 the painter Gavril Atanasov also worked in the convent.
The icon of the Dormition of the Theotokos was painted by Gregory Pecanov from Strumica in 1878.
The residential quarters are of a free-style construction.
They attract with the warmth of the wood used, shaped in a 19th-century old-urban style.

Four sisters who came from the Veljusa monastery live together with the last nun of the previous lineage.
The sisterhood of the convent is active in Byzantine style icon painting.
The beginnings of the renewal of fresco painting in Macedonian monasteries was started by the sisterhood.

The Hesychastic (14th century Greek sect of Christianity) monastery typikon functions as a place of prayer, a holy hesychasterion.
The upper floor of the church was recently turned into a small chapel dedicated to St. Gregory Palamas.
