The Kazan Women's Monastery in Gorushka, located near the city of Danilov, was founded in 1894 by nun Mikhail with the blessing of her spiritual mentor, the righteous St. John of Kronstadt. On August 13 of the same year, the wooden Kazan church was consecrated. In 1897, the monastery organized a brick factory in the now-vanished village of Nokhrino and began construction of the holy gates with a two-tiered bell tower, completing it in 1900. These structures have not survived. In 1901, the construction of a large three-altar church began, designed by St. Petersburg architect V.A. Kosiakov, approved by the Holy Synod. However, after the death of abbess Mikhail in 1909, construction was halted due to lack of funds and resumed only in the summer of 1915. The church was consecrated on September 16, 1918, by Patriarch Tikhon. Although the church was intended as a winter church, with stoves in the basement and chimneys in the walls, it could not be heated during those difficult times and was used as a summer church.

In the winter of 1928, the monastery was closed. In 1931, a agricultural artel "Krasnaya Gorushka" was organized on its territory. During the Soviet era, the church served as a collective farm storage and warehouse, and a water tower and power station were also set up here, with a shop located in the altar area. In August 1980, a fire destroyed the domes. In 1988, the church was returned to the church, and in 1992 it was reopened as a parish. On January 2, 2002, the day of remembrance of the righteous St. John of Kronstadt, Archbishop Mikhey blessed the resumption of activities at the Kazan Monastery in Gorushka. The revival of the monastery began on July 17, 2003. The church has four altars: the main one in honor of the icon of the Kazan Mother of God and altars in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and St. Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow, consecrated on November 22, 2004. Since 1995, the Danilov Monastery has been recognized as a federal monument of significance.

In 2006, nun Ekaterina was transferred to the Kazan Women's Monastery in Yaroslavl, and nun Filareta Gusakova became the abbess. Monastic life is being revived in the monastery, and on November 3, 2007, on the eve of the feast of the Kazan icon of the Mother of God, an ensemble of seven bells was raised on one of the cathedral's towers.
