The oldest stone church in the monastery is named for the Cathedral of Metropolitan St. Peter and was built in 1514-1517 by Aleviz Novi on the site of wooden church. Standing alone in the center of the grounds of the original monastery, it is the small red brick cathedral with eight rounded sides of unique design. Those four on the compass points are larger than the four diagonals. All are topped with a large octagonal drum and helmet-shaped dome with eight facets. The Baroque-style paintings on the outside date from late 17th century renovations.
