The Church of the Assumption of the Mother of God is located at the entrance gates. It was likely built in the first quarter of the 18th century, along with a low stone fence of the monastery featuring two gates to the north and west, as well as an octagonal stone tower at the northeast corner. Part of the wall remained wooden, as did all the utility, auxiliary, and residential buildings. The western gates are particularly interesting, designed as a single-span arch with beautiful framing and a low attic. The small Assumption Church, built in the 1730s-1740s, is included in the fence and is situated near the northern gates along the line of the walls. A low single-story building of hospital wards and brotherly cells adjoins the church from the west, forming a cohesive whole with it. Notably, the corner tower of the fence mirrors the tiered structure of the Assumption Church in its composition. After the children's isolation home was established in the Trinity-Gleden Monastery in 1926, the interior of the Assumption Church was completely destroyed, and the church itself was repurposed into a club and dining hall.
