On the north side of the Transfiguration Church adjoins the former house of the archimandrite. This brick two-story building has an elongated shape with a gable roof of a sloped structure, covered with sheet metal. The building is plastered and whitewashed both outside and inside. The height of the first floor is lower than usual. Internal load-bearing partitions divide the building into four parts: the outer ones were used for household needs, while the central ones served as living quarters. All rooms on the first floor previously served functional purposes, and now the archimandrite's quarters and the church in honor of the Royal Martyrs are located in the northwestern tower of the monastery fence. With the construction of the archimandrite's house, the entrance to the Transfiguration Church and the house became common. The architectural design of the building's facades corresponds to the time of its construction, and in the decor, especially in the window frames, elements of Russian Baroque are noticeable. Such elements include rusticated corner pilasters, arch frames, as well as cornices under the roof and above the first floor.
