This rock monastery is located on the Shumen Plateau, near the village of Khan Krum, on the western slope of the Kalugera Boaz. The monastery is reached by a spiral staircase cut into the rock, which at the end passes into a corridor leading to the premises. For the rock monastery next to the village of Khan Krum, a natural cave was used, which was further adapted and finished for the needs of the monks. The temple is artfully and precisely carved right into the rock. The monastery church is distinguished from other rock churches in the region by having a conch shell. Besides the church there is another large room which was probably used as a bedroom.
