The monastery was built in 1894 on the place where the former one from 17th century once stood. Its name is derived from 90 steps which lead up to the 35 meters high rock where the monastery stands. Pursuant to the story, the steps used to be golden ("chryso" in Greek). Not long after Moni Chrysoskalitissa was built and dedicated to Dormition of Mother Mary and Agia Triada, it was dissolved in 1900 and re-established as a convent in 1940. After the Nazi occupation of Crete, several resistance fighters were given refuge here and this is why German soldiers came to live at the premises in 1943, after they chased the monks. When the Nazi forces left, the monks returned to the monastery.
