Фото 1
In 1758, on the site of the old wooden Nikolskaya church, with the blessing of Bishop Kirill (Lyashevetsky) of Voronezh, Archimandrite Theodosius consecrated a new warm stone church in honor of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God. In 1780, a two-tiered stone bell tower was erected with an auxiliary building for monastic cells, and the wing was restored.

In 1860, construction began on the site of the Vladimir church, which was consecrated in 1863, with the blessing of Archbishop Joseph (Bogoslovsky) of Voronezh, in honor of the Sicilian Icon of the Mother of God.

A two-story refectory building was located in the same structure as the church. Later, this building was connected by a passage to the auxiliary building of cells, which in the late 19th century formed a single L-shaped structure, enclosing the monastery on the western and northern sides.
