In the mid-19th century, there was a church in the village of Korsun, dedicated to the Korsun Icon of the Mother of God. It was large and bright, with stained glass instead of windows, an elegant wrought iron fence, and a beautiful chapel.

Not far from the church was an estate belonging to representatives of a famous Russian noble family related to Tsar Boris Godunov.

Vladimir Vladimirovich, the owner of the estate, was born on October 31, 1830, in St. Petersburg. He graduated from the Imperial Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum and, having received the rank of titular counselor, began his service in the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Enthralled by the East, he studied Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian languages and became the first Russian orientalist, authoring numerous scientific works and becoming an Honorary Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Despite his official trips, Vladimir Vladimirovich always returned to his native Korsun village during vacations or illness.

In April 1858, his wedding to Anna Semyonovna from Oryol took place in the Korsun church. Their marriage was almost perfect, but their only daughter, Pelagia, born a year later, passed away suddenly. Vladimir Vladimirovich buried her near the church and built a chapel over her grave.

After that, he preferred to spend his free time at the estate, alongside his wife and their departed daughter. The house turned into a museum with portraits of ancestors, a collection of weapons, and Eastern coins, which he bequeathed to the Hermitage. The main pride was a library with 12,000 volumes, a significant portion of which concerned the history of the East. An archive with letters and manuscripts was located in the tower next to the library.

The estate was well-kept, with a spring, ponds, and greenhouses. The park with rare trees attracted local landowners.

Vladimir Vladimirovich passed away in January 1904 and was buried in the chapel next to his daughter. After the death of his wife Anna Semyonovna in 1914, the estate passed to the Uhtomsky princes. With the advent of Soviet power, the estate was ravaged, and during the Great Patriotic War, the manor and church were destroyed.

For a long time, the Korsun secondary school was located on the estate's grounds. On June 22, 2006, a site was consecrated for the construction of a new church, which was consecrated on February 16, 2008. In 2014, a women's monastery was established here.

The monastery employs 7 nuns, 1 nun, and 7 novices. They take care of the church, kitchen, sewing, and household. They grow their own vegetables, as the land is fertile.

The community pays great attention to liturgical life. A new wooden church has been built on the old foundation, next to which is an icon shop. Services are held almost daily. A small church for the sisters is also being built, and in the future, there are plans to construct a brick church and sisterhood buildings.
