The monastery was founded in 1996 by Father Christian Collart, monk of Mont-César (Belgium); it is part of the Benedictine congregation Subiaco-Monta Cassino and was elevated to the rank of conventual priory in 2010. The community is particularly attached to oriental spirituality, notably through the veneration of icons.

The community includes eleven permanently committed brothers, two brothers with temporary vows and two novices. The brothers make liturgical vestments, write icons.
