The monastery was founded in 1428 by Wasyl Ostrogski as an Orthodox monastery. It was under the protection and encouragement of its descendants for the next two hundred years. From 1574 to 1575 the famous printer Ivan Fyodorov worked in the monastery.
In 1596 it was rejected by the Union of Brest and became a center of Orthodox resistance against the new United Church . In 1602 Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski gave the monastery a printing press . In the following years important theological, liturgical and polemical writings were written here. After the death of the last male descendant Janusz Ostrogski in 1620, the successors turned to the United Church. In 1635 the monastery officially passed to her and was handed over to the Order of the Basilians .
