The Bugulminsky Alexander Nevsky Monastery, a male monastery of the Almetyevsk Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, is located in the village of Sosnovka in the Bugulma District of Tatarstan.
It was founded on land donated by peasants from the village of Spasskoye and received the status of a non-staff dormitory male monastery of the third class. The monastery housed two churches: a wooden, warm, single-altar church in honor of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos and a stone, cold, three-altar church in the name of the Holy Trinity, which stood out for its unusual architecture. The monastery kept a particularly venerated icon brought from Mount Athos, a copy of the miraculous icon of the Mother of God "It is Truly Meet." During the Soviet era, the monastery was closed and almost completely destroyed.
Since 2012, the restoration of the monastery has begun.
