Two kilometers from the village of Podlesovo was the Nikolsky Women's Monastery, founded approximately between 1880 and 1900. Its abbess was the daughter of a local landowner, Elizabeth Rozing. After the October Revolution, she transformed the monastery into a labor artel. Near the village of Podlesovo is a dense forest known as Mechasovo. In this forest is a place closely connected to the history of our faith and the Russian monastic feat. It is about the Nikolsky Women's Monastery, which was captured by the Nizhny Novgorod photographer Maxim Dmitriev at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. The monastery was wooden and located in a dense forest, which today is accessed by a picturesque forest road. The tumultuous events of the 20th century led to the oblivion of this corner of church life. No structures remain from the monastery, except for a well that locals call 'the little well.' Previously, every year on St. Nicholas Day, people would come here to hold prayers, but unfortunately, this tradition is almost forgotten. There are no longer those who remember the history of the vanished monastery.
