  In 1859, Sultan Abdulmejid I published a decree giving Christians religious freedom. The monks invited Italian architect Matteo Lorenzoni to design a project for the church. Local workers built the walls using oak trunks. Construction was finished in 1875. By 1896 the Church and Monastery had arisen in Mostar.
