In 1883, the Kursk merchant Dmitry Sazonov bequeathed 20 desyatins of land to the Holy Trinity Monastery, located 7 versts from Kursk. This place, covered with forests and hills, was completely deserted at that time. Thanks to the efforts of the abbess, Igumenia Sofia, a stone cold church with a bell tower was built here in 1890 in memory of the salvation of Emperor Alexander III and his family from danger during a train crash on October 17, 1888, at the Borki station of the Kursk-Kharkov-Donetsk railway.

In 1901, Igumenia Sofia, caring for the elderly women and sisters living in the skete, which had grown to 80 people, appealed to His Grace Lavrenty for permission to build a warm church. After receiving permission, she began construction, and on September 25, 1903, the church was solemnly consecrated in memory of Emperor Nicholas Alexandrovich's visit to Kursk during the maneuvers of 1902.

After the 1917 revolution, the skete of Prince Alexander Nevsky faced the same fate as all monasteries of the Russian Orthodox Church. On January 18, 1925, a commission was created to inventory the property and personal belongings of the nuns. The cells were occupied by summer residents from the city, while the nuns were forced to live in the attics. The monastery became the last one closed in the Kursk province, but the nuns continued to pray for its restoration.

On August 25, 2002, at the initiative of the abbess of the Kursk Holy Trinity Women's Monastery, Nun Serafima (Konovaleko), and with the blessing of Metropolitan Juvenaly, a moleben was served at the ruins of the church in honor of Saint Prince Alexander Nevsky, after which a cross procession took place to the spring consecrated in his honor.

On January 2, 2003, Metropolitan Juvenaly of Kursk and Rylsk sent Nun Serafima Konovaleko to Shuklinka to restore the monastery. A temporary church was organized in the building of the under-construction prophylactic of the 'Schyotmash' factory. On September 28, 2003, the construction of the church in honor of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker began. It was impossible to restore the church at its former location due to the built prophylactic.

On August 1, 2004, the first moleben was served in the unfinished church, and regular services began. In April 2005, the construction of the refectory started. At the initiative of Valentin Stepanovich Barychev, a board of trustees was created, which included leaders of the Kursk regional organization of the 'United Russia' party, headed by State Duma deputy Valery Ryazansky.

On August 14, 2007, Archbishop German of Kursk and Rylsk served a moleben for the beginning of the restoration of the church in honor of Saint Prince Alexander Nevsky. The restoration project was developed by specialists under the guidance of architect Valery Mikhailov.

On June 24, 2010, five bells donated by A.D. Koshtoyan were installed on the bell tower of the resurrecting church, along with one bell from the 19th century donated by O.M. Radin. In September 2010, domes manufactured by the 'Grant' company were brought from Volgodonsk. On October 21, 2010, after a moleben served by Archbishop German, the domes with crosses were installed. In April 2011, on the eve of Easter, a 230 kg bell donated by Zinaida Stepanovna Donchenko was installed on the church's bell tower. On June 19, 2012, Archbishop German consecrated the altar of the restored church. On this day, State Duma deputy Alexander Bryksin presented the church with an ark containing a relic of Saint Prince Alexander Nevsky, which became the highest award for all who participated in the restoration of the church.
