The devastating earthquakes that struck Romania on 10^th, November 1940 and on 4^th, March 1977 inflicted considerable damage on the main church building. Consequently, extensive repairs and restoration were made first between 1941 and 1942 and after that between 1950 and 1960, under the earnest care of Patriarch Justinian. Another round of repairs and restoration took place between 1986 and 1989, subsequent to the 1986 earthquake, under the earnest care of Patriarch Teoctist.

On the occasion of the most recent restoration of the church, all the additional layers of paint that had been placed over the original paintings, which had been executed by the great Romanian painter Nicolae Grigorescu and which had badly distorted them, have been removed, so that now the masterpiece of our great painter can be admired in all its splendor.
The monastic establishment shelters a collection of liturgical objects of great patrimonial value. In the cemetery there were interred five members of the family of the historian Nicolae Iorga, as well as the renowned professor of religious music, Stefanache Popescu.
