By the last quarter of the 17th century, the building had deteriorated significantly; the church nave was roofless, and the crown of the masonry was damaged. Restoration began in 1716 and finished in 1722, but the church burned again in 1723. The vaults and most of the interior furnishings survived. Another fire in 1820 necessitated renovations, completed in 1842, with minor work continuing into the latter half of the 19th century. The monastery and church were demolished in 1977 during the destruction of the historic city center.
