It dates mainly from the 16th century, when the monks built the main church, which is decorated with frescoes from that period. Today it is a convent run by nuns.
Unlike some of its neighbours, Roussanou is relatively easy to reach: a short path and footbridges lead from the road to the entrance. Inside, the small church and the well-kept rooms give a good idea of monastic life on the rocks. Modest dress is required, as at all the Meteora monasteries.
The monastery is on the road between Varlaam and Holy Trinity, and the viewpoints along the road above it are among the best places to photograph it.
