يعود بناء الدّير إلى القرون الوسطى، لكنّ الموقع يحوي الكثير من الآثار التي تشير الى استخدامه كحصن بسبب موقعه الاستراتيجيّ. وتشير التقاليد والموروثات أن الموارنة تحصّنوا به إبّان حملة المماليك على جبّة بشرّي. بقي الدّير لمدّةٍ طويلةٍ مزارًا لأهل البلدة. رممّ الموقع سنة ٢٠١٥ وكرّسه البطريرك بشارة بطرس الراعي. يتألف الموقع من الكنيسة الأثريّة بقلب المغارة، آثار القلالي والحديقة الجديدة. The monastery of the Prophet Elijah - Hadshit
The monastery dates back to the middle ages yet the site was an antique garrison due to it’s strategical location. According to tradition the maronites took refuge in the monastery during the Mamluk’s campaign on the region of Jebbe. The monastery was a shrine for a long period of time. It was restored in 2015 and consecrated by the Patriarch Bechara Boutros el Raii. The site includes the cave church, the ruins of the cells and the new garden.
