The stone church dedicated to the righteous John of Kronstadt was added to the eastern side of the monastic building in 1997-1998. The foundation of its unusual architectural composition is a tall cubic volume, on which a squat octagon with a helmet-shaped dome and decorative finial is situated. On the eastern side, a semicircular altar apse adjoins the church, its cornices adorned with brick ornamentation. The architecture of the church incorporates elements of Art Nouveau, evident in the corners of the square base with rusticated pilasters and the facade highlighted by a triangular pediment and rusticated pilasters.
Currently, the Church of John of Kronstadt is operational.
