It was attested from the time of Neagoe Basarab (1512-1521), when it was mentioned in an exchange of estates between its abbott and the boyard Manea of Persani, the founder of the Seaca-Museteşti monastery. In 1625, Alexandru Coconu dedicated the monastic settlement to the Cutlumuş monastery in Mount Athos. The earthquake of 1628 and more fires ruined the old monastic center. For this reason, in 1645, during the reign of Matei Basarab, the monastery is rebuilt by Diicu Buicescu, great commander. Ruined again because of the vicissitudes of time, in 1980, extensive restoration work begins, works that have gradually restored the monument to its present state. Through its architecture, the Clocociov monastery, with all the successive degradations, due to the restoration that sought to respect and preserve the features of the old settlement, is part of the monuments from the middle of the XVII century, still dominated by the stylistic characteristics of the time of Matei Basarab; the variety of forms is tempered by the simplicity of the construction, in which decoration is used with measure.
