  South of Rousse, along the river Rousse Lom is one of the four preserved rock monasteries in the country-rock manatiri complex Ivanovski. But he differs from others not only well-preserved frescoes, and its very konstruirane.V most Bulgarian monasteries churches are 1-2, but there was more than 40, while other cells and more than 300 rooms. It is assumed that the first otchelnitsi have settled in the caves of the rock in the 10th century. At a height of about 32 meters above the river, they began to dig their cells, churches and chapels in the rock. The flowering of the monastery complex started in the 20s of the 13th century, when the monk settled Joachim, who later became the first Turnovo patriarch. Joachim is considered the founder of the monastery and gave him the name "Archangel Michael". Throughout its medieval existence, the monastery has maintained secret ties with the royal court. His donors were famous kings as Ivan Asen II, Tsar Ivan Alexander even believe that George - Terter has spent the last years of his life in Ivanovo rock monastery.
