The monastery closed in 1832 and in 1846 was given to the newly-established (1839) Russian Orthodox Diocese of Lithuania. It was returned to the Catholic Church after World War I.

Near the church there is a former Trinitarians monastery complex, who were invited to the area by Konstanty Kazimierz Brzostowski in 1700.[1][3] Since then the area was called after the Trinitarians.[1]
