The Cells of the Councel Elders

Along the West Pilgrim Road there are two buildings, former apartments of the Monastery Elders. The one to the left has 6 sections, each apartment being of 4-5 rooms, the building to the right had accomodation for 4 Elders. They were richly furnished and testified to the fact that the life of the Monastery Elders did not differ much from that of local aristocracy.

The total number of monks and novices was different in different years The monk population of the Lavra was estimated to be:

in 1051 - about 20;

in the 18-th century - 1500-2000;1n 1941-1944-about 200; in1960 - about 30.
