Refectory with the Church of St. Sergius
By the end of the 17th century the number of the monks considerably grew and the old Refectory couldn't satisfy the needs of the monastery. Instead of it, a new very large building of the Refectoiry with the church dedicated to St. Sergius was erected by order of Peter I in 1686-1692 as thanks from the Tsar for the monastery where he twice took refuge when he was young.
