Many times was changed and rebuilt. The central object of the monastery is the church of St. George (1716—1739).

Since the monastery stands on the banks of the Danube, floods are common here. On the wall, you can see notes with past floods. The latter were recently. In 1998-2008, work was carried out to protect the monastery from floods.

You can walk freely on the territory and on the coast. There is a historical museum and also you can visit other non-residential rooms. In general, the places are very beautiful, we recommend.
