Refectory Church of St. Sergius Radonezhsky, built in 1690-1694 and modified again in 1702. Peter the Great commissioned it in commemoration of the refuge he received at the Trinity St. Sergius Monastery after the Streltsi revolt. Originally the church had a single dome which was revised in 1704-1706 renovation.

White scallop shells trim the top band of the central cube that is topped by five green cupolas with decorated blind drums. Note the large porch entrance with its wide tent roof.

The church was closed in 1924 and reopened in 1992 but the chapels have not been restored.
