The katholicon is a newer single-aisled church. The outbuildings are also newer, as is the monastery enclosure.
Tradition has it that the family of Theodoros Kolokotronis found refuge in the monastery and himself learned his first letters here.
The monastery is a dependency of Kernitsa monastery and the church is run by the nuns.
