The village of Vaulovo is located in a picturesque area, with a small river flowing nearby, which the righteous John of Kronstadt called "Vzderinozhka" or "Sderinozhka." This ancient village, situated in the Romanovo-Borisoglebsk district of the Yaroslavl province, belonged to the noble family of Alyabievs since the early 16th century, and then passed by inheritance to the princely family of Urusovs. The last owner was Count Vladimir Pavlovich Mordvinov, who held the positions of secret advisor and senator, and was also a well-known judicial and public figure. In 1750, a stone church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built on the estate, with an altar in honor of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, replacing the wooden church that had burned down. There was also a church in honor of St. Alexander of Svir. Vladimir Pavlovich, being the sole heir, paid special attention to Vaulovo, which he loved since childhood. He was a pious man and maintained friendly relations with the clergy. In 1903, he transferred the estate to the St. Petersburg John Monastery, and in the same year, the holy righteous John of Kronstadt established a women's skete here, which he visited for the first time. His stay at the skete had a beneficial effect on his health. He wrote home: "Here is the wonderful beauty of nature, but in spiritual terms, the temples of God here, the first beauty I serve daily, I commune, and I often commune the nuns and laypeople. Meadows, forests, a sight to behold, an earthly paradise. I thank the Lord for granting us this earthly paradise. It is a hundred times more beautiful than your Tarkhovka, if not more." In the last year of his life, Father John served 40 Liturgies at this skete and blessed the planting of 40 linden branches in memory of this. The linden alley has survived to this day.

In 1919, the Vaulovo skete was closed, both churches were destroyed, and the icons were sent for "utilization." However, at the request of the parish council of the Resurrection Cathedral, they were preserved and transferred to the church, among them the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

In 1997, an Orthodox parish was established on the territory of the skete, and its revival began. Three ruined buildings have survived on the monastery grounds, one of which, the former guesthouse, is operational. It now houses the house church in honor of the Righteous John of Kronstadt. In 2005, the icon "Gracious Heaven" returned to the skete. In 2007, the construction of the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary began, modeled after the previous one. On November 1, 2011, on the feast day of the righteous John of Kronstadt, the church was consecrated, and services are held there. Monastic life in the skete is gradually being restored.
