The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is associated with the arrival of the first monk of the Order of St. Paul the First Hermit, known as the Pauline Fathers (hermit-eremitae-Remete), Abbot Isquirinus, in Croatia. According to tradition, he founded the first monastery in 1272. In 1319, thanks to the generosity of King Charles Robert, a new monastery in Remete with a church was constructed.
