In 1672, the Kolchedan Ostrog was founded on the high banks of the Iset and Kolchedanka rivers, located in the center of former Bashkir settlements. Sandstones for millstones were extracted in the vicinity of the village, alternating with layers of various clays. Brown coal, selenites, amber grains, and cubes of sulfurous pyrite were found in the black clay, which gave the village its name.

The first wooden church in the Kolchedan settlement, built in 1695, burned down. The second wooden church in honor of the Meeting of the Lord was dismantled in 1849 due to dilapidation. According to the reference book of the Yekaterinburg Diocese for 1902, a marble monument was erected in their place by peasant Mikhail Ivanovich Batenyev. These churches were located on the left bank of the Kolchedanka River, dividing the village into two parts: "Kolchedan" and "Gora". In 1797, a stone church in honor of the Meeting of the Lord was built in Kolchedan, with an altar dedicated to St. Nicholas the Miracle Worker. Due to damage that occurred in 1830, only the altar was consecrated in 1805, while the main church was never consecrated.

The current stone church in honor of the Meeting of the Lord with a bell tower was built in 1839 with funds from parishioners. It is a one-story, cold building with two warm altars: the southern in honor of St. Nicholas the Miracle Worker and the northern in honor of the holy apostles Peter and Paul. The church was consecrated in 1848, the first altar in 1879, and the second in 1882. The parish consisted of two priests, a deacon, and two psalmists. There were two zemstvo schools in the parish: in Kolchedan and in the village of Gorbunov, as well as two church-parish schools: in the village of Vodolazov since 1897 and at the Pokrovskaya women's community for girls since 1895. After the revolution, the church of the Meeting of the Lord was destroyed.

The Kolchedan women's community was founded in 1857 and officially opened in 1865. Its founder and first head was peasant woman Tatyana Titova. In 1877, a stone church in honor of the Protection of the Holy Virgin was built at the community. A women's church-parish school operated at the monastery, for which a special building was constructed at the end of 1901.

On October 18, 1901, by decree of the Holy Synod, the Kolchedan Pokrovskaya women's community was transformed into a women's monastery. On November 14, 1901, nun Megetia Mironova became the abbess. These events were ceremoniously celebrated on December 1 and 2, 1901. On the evening of December 1, an all-night vigil was held, conducted by the archimandrite of the monasteries, igumen Agafon, with the cathedral protodeacon. The church was decorated with greenery and flowers, and the service was combined with the celebration in honor of the Protection of the Mother of God. Members of the consistory and priests attended the service. Before the liturgy, a small blessing of water was performed, and then, despite the deep snow, a cross procession was held around the monastery.

By 1902, the monastery owned 4 desyatinas 780 square fathoms of homestead and 147 desyatinas of arable and haymaking land. There were three semi-stone and two wooden buildings for cells, a house for the priest, and a house for the school. In 1902, 50 girls were educated in the school, and there was a night shelter associated with it. The number of sisters in the monastery reached 140. The schoolgirls and nuns engaged in weaving and gold embroidery, which, as reported by the "Yekaterinburg Diocesan Gazette," had been perfected.

In 1910, there were 22 nuns, 12 pupils, and 140 lay sisters living in the Kolchedan women's monastery. There was a garden and an apiary, 7.5 desyatinas of homestead, 119 of arable land, 16 desyatinas of forest, and 12 desyatinas 50 fathoms of wasteland. They rented meadows in the vicinity, sowing wheat, rye, oats, and peas. In Kamyshlov, there was a monastery farm where several nuns baked prosphora and engaged in handicrafts. Abbess Megetia Mironova served until 1914, when she was relieved due to illness. On October 14, 1914, Isidora Kuritsyna became the superior. In 1917, there were 22 nuns and 147 novices in the monastery.

After the revolution, the monastery was closed, and the Protection church was destroyed.

In 2004, a women's community was established in the village of Kolchedan, becoming a dependency of the Transfiguration Men's Monastery. On December 26, 2012, the community received the status of the Pokrovsky Women's Monastery. The senior nun Magdalina Prozheryna became the abbess. Only two buildings of the former workshops have survived from the previous monastery. One of them has been consecrated and houses the altar of the Meeting of the Lord, while the other is where the sisters live. Currently, there is one nun, two novices, and two postulants serving here.
