epískoposes of the historical Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Kostajnica- those being Ugarković, Dimitrijević and Ljubibratić.[1]
Epískopos Andrijević oversaw the construction of present day church in the 1741-1749 period.
Due to its small size the monastery was closed down in 1777 and its possessions were transferred to the Gomirje Monastery and to Serbian Orthodox monasteries in the region of Banat where majority of monks moved as well.[1] The church was downgraded to a parish church. Local population opposed this decision and issued a People's Appeal against the abolition of monastery which was signed by two protopreslators, two governors, thirteen priests, and one 117 delegates from twenty-eight settlements.[1]
The complex was heavily devastated by the Italian forces during World War II.[1] Certain objects were saved earlier by the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb. Icons produced in the Komogovina Monastery are in specialized literature known as the Komogovina School.[1] One of the relics saved in 1942 was the hand of the saint Teodor Tiron which survived burning by the Ottomans.[1] After the end of World War II it remained in Zagreb where it was kept in silver box but it disappeared during the Croatian War of Independence.[1]
