Demolished during the earthquake of 1829, the church was rebuilt by abbot Calinic of Cernica, with funds from the wealth left by the last founders (Grigore and Maria Bujoreanu), remaining only with the patron saint of the Dormition, to which St. Nicholas was added.

The tower of the nave was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1838. The place was in a quadrangular enclosure with an inn, cells, bell tower and shops, including a school built by Bujoreni (all demolished gradually between 1865-1908).
