The Sign Women's Monastic Community in the village of Kovrov was officially registered in 1899. According to legend, an icon of the Mother of God "Sign" was found at this site during the plague epidemic of 1771. The community existed until 1918, not having time to become a monastery. It had a wooden Sign Church, cells, and other buildings, as well as a school for girls and a farm. In 1913, the construction of a stone Trinity Church began, but it soon passed into the ownership of a neighboring factory. A new chapter in the community's history began in the 1990s when the Sign parish opened in one of the rooms of the former monastery school, now the 2nd City Hospital. The women's community was revived in 2006, receiving a heavily reconstructed Trinity Church, which is currently operational but not yet fully restored. An important event was the acquisition of the status of an eparchial monastery in April 2011. It is now the only monastery in Kovrov. In addition to the Trinity Church, the monastery has a cell building from the Soviet period and a temporary bell tower.
