Founded in XIII century , the history of Kladnitsa monastery "St. Nicholas " is not much . Over the years, the monastery there was a book that was detailed history, but in the 40s of XX century it was burned . So they get to us a little information about the activities of the monastery, which was formerly part of the Sofia svetogorie . A curious moment in history is that earlier monastery was available at a higher place than the present . Over the monastery then was a stronghold that included the lands of the monastery and was ruled by a local nobleman . After the destruction of the monastery during the Ottoman rule , it was rebuilt in XIX. More precisely, in 1841 on the initiative of the grandfather of the village called Spas Burnov Marchaevo and donations of many local people. Spas became the first abbot of the monastery.

At the time of nationalization Kladnitsa monastery "St. Nicholas " deprived of their property and religious life gradually it declined. Everything changed in 1995. Then at the monastery stays preceptor . Five years later, he left the monastery , but local authorities get on with the important task to rebuild their lives and activities in the cloisters . So today Kladnitsa monastery is now permanent , offers property and enjoys an active religious life.

Today the monastery complex includes a church , residential and commercial buildings . The church is a small one-nave building with two conchas , and no dome was built in 1841 and the inner narthex and - in 1866 to the western façade is attached portico acting as an open narthex . The church was painted in 1883 Includes scenes of wanderings , Holy Trinity in the form of Trimurti and others.

The complex is situated on the slopes of Vitosha Mountain , close to Sofia - 20 km and more near Pernik - 10 km . The way it is paved and accessible year-round because of its proximity to the hut " Selimitsa " which is constantly functioning .
