According to the legend, the name of the village Paiseni came from a hermit Paisie who hosted Stefan cel Mare one night in his cell after the battle of Razboieni, the voivode then giving him this estate.
In 1960, 2 nuns came here: Nun Cecilia and Nun Manuela. In 1970 there was already a small chapel so that in 1979 the construction of the new church would begin with the blessing of Saint Hierarch Glicherie. Many times the authorities tried to demolish the building but with God's will the place was built to the end and thus the first Holy Mass was celebrated by the Holy Great Martyr Dimitrie in 1982.
Between 1982-1985 it was painted in a realistic style by Mina Movila. The consecration service of the church was performed on 1/14 July 1985 by the I.P.S. Silvestru Onofrei, after, 2 weeks before, Metropolitan Glicherie Tanase passed to the eternal ones on June 15/28, 1985. After 1989, other buildings were erected, completing the monastic ensemble that dominates the heights of the peasants in the shade of the fir forests.
Until 1990, the abbess of the monastery, Cecilia Zaganeanu, was abbess. In the period 1991-1996 he followed the nun Paisia Placinta, and since 1996 the abbess is the nun Minodora Ciotarca. There are currently 29 nuns, the priest being PS Ghenadie.On Sundays and holidays, a priest appointed by the metropolis celebrates the Holy Mass.
