The Kamen-sk-Ural'sk Transfiguration Monastery traces its origins to a women's community founded in 1860 by Avdotya Ivanovna Voronina, who became its first head. Thanks to her funds and donations from townspeople, the necessary buildings were constructed.

The first church was arranged in a house on Kirova Street, 16, and consecrated on October 21, 1862, in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God.

Construction of the temple likely began in 1872 and was completed six years later. The main altar was consecrated in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord on October 15, 1878, the right chapel in honor of the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos, and the left in honor of Saint Nicholas, Archbishop of Myra in Lycia.

On the monastery grounds stood a stone chapel built in the late 18th century. In 1917, there were 30 nuns and 150 novices living in the Transfiguration Women's Monastery.

In 1920, the monastery was closed. On October 27, 1921, by the decision of the Kamen'sk District City Executive Committee, the Transfiguration Church was also closed, where services were still being held. The church was desecrated and looted. The buildings of the former monastery were occupied by the District Military Commissariat and the District Land Administration. Agricultural courses were held in the church, while the prayer room housed children's institutions, a club, a bakery, and warehouses. The former sisterhood building was used by Soviet authorities.

In 1998, His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia decided to establish the Transfiguration Men's Monastery in Kamen-sk-Ural'sk on the site of the destroyed women's monastery.

In the summer of 2002, by the decree of the Sverdlovsk Region Government, the Church of the Transfiguration of the Transfiguration Monastery was transferred to the ownership of the Yekaterinburg Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church.

After eighty years of desolation, the monastery is once again being revived for monastic and spiritual-educational activities.

Today, services are held in the monastery, and restoration and renovation works are underway.

In the spring of 2001, with the blessing of Archbishop Vikentiy of Yekaterinburg and Verkhoturye, Hieromonk Nestor Bolkov arrived in Kamen-sk-Ural'sk.

By that time, the monastery was in a deplorable state; the outer walls had not been repaired, the church roof had rotted and collapsed, the bell tower was destroyed, and the altar apse was demolished. On July 6, 2001, the first Divine Liturgy was held in the temporary church.

By winter, heating and electricity were installed. The monastery carpenters made benches, a panikhida table, and a liturgical table for the church, as well as two central analogs for icons.

Service books and the first Sofrinsky icons were periodically acquired.

In 2003, the accounting office, Father Nestor's office, the large refectory, and the choir's cell were repaired and painted on the first floor of the annex to the old church. The kitchen was equipped with dishes, a stove, a refrigerator, and buffets.

On February 11, 2003, reconstruction and the construction of a new roof on the old church built in the 19th century began. By March 27, the roof was fully completed.

A significant amount of work remained to restore the interior spaces of the church, arches, vaults, and walls.

In 2004, an old foundation of the altar apse was discovered near the eastern wall of the church, allowing work to begin on the construction of a new altar.

In the church's refectory, carpenters laid a new wooden floor.

By 2005, the construction of the altar apse walls was nearly completed. On September 5, after the liturgy, a thanksgiving moleben was served with the blessing of named bricks. Donations were collected in the monastery for the purchase of bricks. Many parishioners followed the construction of the apse and knew that their named brick was in its wall.

The monastery is now operational. Daily services are held in the church, and the number of residents is increasing.

Forms of social service have improved, and restoration work continues.
