Donja Bisnja Monastery is located in the village of the same name, about 5 kilometers from Derventa, on the way to Kalenderovci. There are written indications that a monastery was once located in Derventa, near Usora. With this trail, Ratko Dekic, born in Lower Bisnia and residing in California, decided to donate the family land near the Bisnja River to the Serbian Orthodox Church and help build the monastery. The construction of the monastery began in 2002. Construction of the church and konak was completed in 2005, when three bells were procured and the monastery was consecrated on Vidovdan on 28 June 2006. The interior of the church is colorful and the mosaic of the Shroud of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to which the church is dedicated, stands out especially above the front door. The three-bell bell is similar to those seen throughout Herzegovina and is unusual for this region of Republika Srpska. The larger, architecturally beautifully made guesthouse only adds to the ambience of the monastery. Work is still underway to renovate part of the complex. The monastery complex also includes a landscaped orchard, pasture and forest that create a pleasant atmosphere. The monastery is male and belongs to the Diocese of Zvornik-Tuzla.
