It was founded in 1365 by Bogdan I, the voivode who centralized the Moldovan state. Its church, dedicated to Saint Nicholas, is the oldest stone church in Moldova.

The building also houses the first princely necropolis in Moldova, containing the tombs of seven Moldavian princes, including the famous Bogdan.
