However, with the support of the Bishop of Lutsk, Stefan Rupnevsky, the Order was restored to damaged premises. In a city fire in 1781, the brigade complex was again damaged by fire. Numerous donations to the church and monastery have been restored, but have been reconstructed in the classicist style. In addition, during the reconstruction a large wall was erected, which enclosed the monastery from the city. The turning point in the monastery's existence occurred in 1845. Then there was a small fire in the brigade complex. For its extinguishing the townspeople came, but they were detained by a large wall.

Compensation for the damage to the city was the confiscation of the premises of the monastery and the church and all the interior utensils. Thus, the monastery was no longer existent, only the premises remained.
