Administrative building the temple Xenia of Petersburg is a monument to 19th century architecture. Initially it was a small two-story building. It has long been in a dilapidated condition. In the winter of 1999 in the monastery of St. Nicholas Solbinskoy settled first sisters under the direction of abbess of the temple. Also destroyed the administrative building and the Assumption Church in the monastery there was nothing but debris and ruins.

It was here in this building for 10 years held the whole monastic life. It housed the nuns cells, refectory for the nuns, pilgrims and visitors to the monastery kitchen, the abbot's quarters, dairy, bakery, laundry, sewing, art workshop, Office, library and utility stocks.

With the blessing of Bishop Micah in 2002 over this housing was built on a third floor with a refectory church in the name Xenia of Petersburg .  From the first days of visiting the temple of the nuns here were pretty good tradition during the holidays and every Sunday after Liturgy invite a total meal with all the nuns who came to the temple to worship .  On the street that was built for the canopy under which stood long wooden tables with benches .  In the cold season in the meal were all going in the Assumption Cathedral, where the spacious aisles when the service is put on the table .  It was not very comfortable - and to hold the service, and to arrange a meal in the temple, but the construction of a separate building then did not even think .  It was therefore decided on a two-storey residential housing built on the third floor .  The result was a large room, there was arranged the altar .  Thus, in the monastery refectory church appeared .  To solve the question of who to dedicate the temple .  Ruling Bishop Micah blessed him in the name Xenia of Petersburg .  And it was especially joyful event, because it turned out that in St. Petersburg, the temple dedicated to Xenia, no .

Long could not decide on the shape of a dome. As a result, they have been made in the likeness of domes in the Pskov-Caves Monastery, without calculations and drawings. But, nevertheless, in spite of the concerns of engineers, by happy coincidence, the dome proved to be made safe, then confirmed that the calculations. Today the temple is decorated with magnificent paintings murals made carved iconostasis. Terminates execution of the facade of the administrative building. From the east to him parked high tower, as well as the main entrance to the temple.

Housing with holy temple Xenia of Petersburg only performs administrative functions: there is accounting, legal department, Office of the Press Service of the monastery. Monastic cells also are located in the newly built housing Varvara. Also have been specially arranged rooms for business needs of the monastery.
