At the end of the 18th century, the ensemble of the former convent consisted of wooden churches in the name of John the Merciful with side chapels of the Kazan Mother of God and Philip the Metropolitan, a bell tower with the main entrance, a stone fence, and a small chapel next to the Vladimir Church.
In 1809, the wooden church of St. John the Merciful was dismantled and a stone temple was built in its place. During the years of persecution, the church of John the Merciful was sealed, crosses and bells were removed.
In the early 1930s, the church was adapted as a club. In 2005, the restoration of the temple began. By the spring of 2009, the church was completed and a new cross was installed. The restoration of the monastery continues.
