The monastery returned to Orthodoxy in 1839. At the monastery there was a hotel for pilgrims and pilgrims, and from 1883 - a parish school.
During the First World War, the evacuated Spiritual Cathedral of the Pochaev Lavra and the governor were located in the monastery. With the advent of Soviet power, the monastery was first closed and then liquidated. During the Great Patriotic War, the monastery Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior was opened as a parish.
The revival of the monastery began in 1990-1993. Its main shrine is the miraculous Trigorskaya Icon of the Mother of God, which, in its writing style, belongs to the 18th century. In addition, particles of the relics of the Monk Pechersk Martyrs are kept here.
