The chapel-spring in honor of Alexandra Diveevskaya was built in 2003.
According to popular legend, the spring of Alexandra Diveevskaya emerged from the grave of Mother Alexandra, who was buried at the altar of the Kazan church. Modern researchers studying the foundations and soils of the Kazan temple note that rainwater and meltwater from the monastery area flow into the dolomites, where it is purified and indeed emerges from the miraculous spring of Mother Alexandra. It is said that it "flows from under the monastery." Until the 2060s, Mother Alexandra's spring was located on the banks of the Vichkinza River but was flooded during the creation of a dam. Later, a new spring opened downstream of the river. Some specialists believe that this is the same spring that found another outlet after the dolomites shifted under the pressure of the dam. At Mother Alexandra's spring, processions are held during Epiphany and some other church holidays.
