Monastic buildings were significantly affected during the war years. Ascension Cathedral was adapted for locksmith shops, silo towers and milk storage. In a still safe form, he stood at least until 1974. Until 1974, the Coast (predatory building) was preserved in excellent condition. Later all the buildings were disassembled on a brick.
