The monk possessed the gifts of perspicacity and healing, many suffering people turned to him for help, but Saint Nikander experienced many temptations and troubles on the narrow path of asceticism. The Monk Nikander remained a hermit until the end of his life.
On the territory of the monastery there are: the Annunciation Cathedral, the church of the Holy Royal.
Martyrs and the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God "Recovery of the dead".
