Located next door to the current boundaries of the Knyaginin Monastery is the Nikitskaya Church, built in 1762. The Nikitskaya Church was once part of the Knyaginin Monastery, although under the Soviet Union it was transformed into an office building. It still serves as such; however, there are talks of returning ownership of this unique structure to the monastery.
