The remains of the Monastery of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist are located on the left bank of the Crnica River. Between 1972 and 1975, the remains of a single-nave church with a later added narthex were discovered at this site, with overall dimensions of 11m × 4.4m. The walls, preserved to a height of 1.50m to 2.90m, were built from hewn and roughly hewn stone in lime mortar. Based on the discovered stone blocks, it was concluded that the church had been vaulted with a semi-domed roof. As part of a project by the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments in Kragujevac, archaeological research was conducted in the churchyard in 2010 and 2011. West and south of the church, there are two buildings, each containing two rooms. These buildings were constructed in two levels, utilizing the terrain's steep slope toward the river. The rooms housed cells, a dining hall, and economic spaces. The monastery complex was enclosed by a wall built from rough stone, which had been modified multiple times and protected the monastery from the waters of the Crnica River. The construction of the monastery dates to the late 14th century, possibly the early 15th century.
