Many of them found in the monastery spiritual mentors, communication with which became part of their lives. In recent years, in connection with this, demand for land for the construction of cottages in the immediate vicinity of the monastery has increased.

They were returned to the church in 1991, and on July 30, 1991, a religious procession accompanied the relics of the great old man to the Holy Gates of the monastery.

The change in the time of worship is reported in the ads in the vestibule. Since 1927, when all Diveevo priests were arrested, and until 1989, when the Trinity Cathedral was transferred to the community, there were no divine services here.
Transfiguration Cathedral
The Transfiguration Cathedral was built on donations. The church, built in the Neo-Russian style, creates the impression of lightness and aspiration to the sky. The interior painting of the walls is made by the nuns of the local icon painting workshop. The construction of the temple was completed in 1916, but because of the revolution, it was not consecrated: for many years here desolation prevailed. Only in 1991 the cathedral was transferred to the monastery and was consecrated in 1998. Since then, divine services have been arranged here according to the timetable.
The five-tier bell tower
The five-tiered belltower was built in 1900, its height with a roof and a cross is slightly more than 70 meters. From 1927 to 1991 the bell tower was not used for its intended purpose, it was devoid of a dome and a cross, in the place of which a television repeater was installed. At present, the building is fully restored and equipped with an appropriate set of bells.
Hegumen Corps

In addition, the chancery, the library and the house church were located in the building. After the closure of the monastery, the building was ruined, since 1997, restoration and restoration work is underway.
