The monastery church was dedicated to the Shroud of the Mother of God. The foundation of Mala Remeta is traditionally ascribed to the Serbian king Dragutin. The first reliable record of Mala Remeta is found in Turkish sources of 1546. In the late 17th century, the monastery was renewed by the refugee monks of the monastery of Raca. This church was replaced by the present church. The construction of the church had begun in 1739, by the artisans Teodor Kosta and Nikola Krapic Tzintzars from the Greek town of Langa, and lasted over two decades.
