As a sign of gratitude, by his order, a church was built next to the healing spring and a monastery was founded. According to one version, the Pustyn Monastery got its name because the area where the monastery is now located, long before the prince's healing, was inhabited by hermit monks who united into a cenobitic monastery in 1380.
In the XVI century it was one of the largest monasteries in the Eastern Belarusian lands.
