Early buildings on the territory were of wood and later traditional architecture is also not for it happened despite the fact that the main buildings began to be built of stone . The monastery situated on a compact territory was organically integrated into the rocky terrain of the island . In 1923 the monastery was liquidated by building a base for the children's boarding school . Secondary consecration of the main side-chapel the cathedral church of the Godfather Monastery was held on August 30, 1991 on the day of the memory of Patriarch Nikon .
Today the monastery receives pilgrims from all over Russia. To our days many of the buildings of that time have reached:
