The All-Saints Convent for Women existed in Bolkhov from 1851 to 1923. It was founded by the noblewoman Sofia Iosifovna Trubitsyna, who, after losing her 21-year-old son, decided to live separately from her husband and settled in a community by the Introduction Church of Bolkhov. In 1853, the community was moved outside the city to the All-Saints Cemetery Church. The official opening of the community took place on June 2, 1857, conducted by Archbishop Smaragd on the feast day of the church. On March 31, 1875, the Synod elevated the community's status to a dormitory women's monastery. After the death of S.I. Trubitsyna on January 15, 1885, she was buried at the altar of the Cathedral of the Placement of the Lord's Robe.

In 1894, a building was constructed for the church parish school, which became a two-class school in 1900. In 1912, a school for shoemaking was opened. In 1901, the monastery received second-class status by a decree of the Synod. In the 1910s, 245 sisters lived in the monastery, including 51 nuns and 8 schemamonks.

In 1923, the monastery was closed, and a commune named 'Spartak' was established on its territory, forcibly relocating the residents of Bolkhov. In the 1930s, the Cathedral of the Placement of the Lord's Robe and the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God 'Life-Giving Spring,' built in the second half of the 19th century, were destroyed. To this day, only the All-Saints Church remains, which is currently being restored.
