A typical example of mid-19th century architecture, where late classicism combines with elements of Russian style.

This brick and plastered two-tiered building features arched gates in the lower tier and a bell tower in the upper. The elongated square with cut corners and a high arched passage supports the belfry, pierced by four slender arches and previously topped with a tent-like roof with a small dome. The facade decoration includes cornice pulls, an arcature frieze in the lower tier, a frieze with strips in the upper tier, and multi-tiered framing of the arched openings, complemented by round stucco rosettes. The dryness of the decoration is emphasized by fine plaster ornamentation.

The male monastery was founded in 1681 by Elder Iona Bolkhovsky and was rebuilt in stone starting in 1753. It was briefly abolished in 1764 and transformed into a female monastery in 1786. On the territory, surrounded by a brick fence built in the first half of the 1780s, with a gate bell tower from the 1850s-1860s, there were a cathedral, a warm church, the abbot's house, cells, and a hospital building. The monastery was closed in 1928. Of all the buildings, only the ruins of the cathedral, the bell tower, and a small part of the fence wall remain. The monastery has not been revived.
