Today the center of the complex is the Assumption Church with its black onion roofs . It was built between 1667 and 1688. The main building, the Teremok , is famous for its unusual tile decorations. It comes from Ossip Starez, 1688–1694. During the communist period there was a car repair shop in the church and a prison in the palace, later exhibitions took place there.
