The stone single-altar house church at the abbot's house in the Inkerman Monastery was built in 1867 according to the design of architect D. M. Strukov. After the monastery was closed, the building was handed over to the Renovationists, and in 1931 it became part of the Sevastopol Museum. In the 1990s, the church reopened.
In 1992, the Inkerman monastery resumed its activities after the Soviet period. Services began again in the ancient church, the abbot's house and the brotherhood building were restored, and the cemetery was put in order. Visitors can see a corridor-tunnel carved into the rock by medieval monks, leading to three ancient cave churches: St. Martin the Confessor, St. Andrew the First-Called, and the main monastery basilica dedicated to the holy martyr.
The monastery houses relics of the honorable head of the holy martyr Clement, transferred from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. Restoration work is also underway on the Spassky Skete, located near the village of Ternovka, near Sevastopol.
