The monastery had both: golden years and the years of suffering. It was occupied by Catholics from 1611 to 1654.The monastery was devastated during the Civil war of 1812. Having been reconstructed by abbots it had existed up to 1929. In 1929 the monastery was closed, all the monks were driven out, many of them were exiled to camps. In March 1943 during the retreat, fascists exploded the whole building of the XVI century: the temple, the ceremony room and the chapel. However, since 1963 there has been started the restoration work.
