Vujan Monastery was founded in the Middle Ages as “Hujan monk settlement” and back at that time it bore the name “Obrovin”. It was built by the monks of the Monasteries of the Ovčar-Kablar Gorge as their own settlement. This shrine was torn down and robbed during one of the Ottoman invasions, following which monks built a stone church on its ruins. However, the Turks devastated Vujan’s house of God again in 1597. In 1805, Nikola Milićević Lunjevica built St. Archangel Michael’s Church on the old church’s ruins thus restoring Vujan Monastery. It all happened because the builders found a stone plate – while clearing ruins – with an inscription which revealed the fact that the temple was dedicated to St. Archangel Michael, that it was desolated and that it contained “A Holy Object” in the nathex to the right. That plate was brought into the church as a relic. The duke Milan Obrenović and a priest from Prislonica Radisav Milošević, who was placed as the first elder of Vujan Monastery, both participated in the reconstruction and building of the monastery as founders.

This is a single-nave church with three separate domes with side arches, a semi-circular altar apse, the narthex and a tall octagonal bell tower rising above the west part of the building. Soon after it was constructed, that is up until 1807, the church got painted by Jeremija Mihailović, but those paintings were soon replaced by the ones which a painter Andrija Dijaković did in 1851. Not even the old iconostasis painted by Jeremija Mihailović with his assistant Stojan stayed in its place. As the residence was destroyed over time, a new one was built during the rule of prince Alexander Karađorđević in 1853. It was reconstructed and consecrated in 1990.

The founder Nikola Milićević Lunjevica (above whose grave there is a commemorative plaque placed by his granddaughter queen Draga in 1902 for “her beloved grandfather”), then his wife Đurđija, the duke Lazar Mutap, as well as the respected elder of the monastery Hadži Josif (Jovan) Milošević, were all buried in the Church of St. Archangel Michael itself next to the “Holy Grave” of an unknown monk, the so-called “Vujan’s Saint”.
