Once this place was a men's monastery, founded in the early 17th century. In the early 1930s, the monastery was closed and looted.

The revival of this holy site began in 1985 thanks to the efforts of women monks. In 1990, the monastery was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church and became a women's monastery. The residents take care of the household themselves: they have a field for potatoes and grains, a vegetable garden, an orchard, and a berry patch, as well as a beehive, a dairy farm, and a poultry house. They produce dairy products, which are allowed to be consumed on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The monks do not eat meat, but on permitted days they can afford fish.

On April 2, 1990, the first service was held after a long break, and in October 1999, the Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia, Alexy II, visited the monastery.

Currently, about 60 residents live in the monastery. A particularly revered shrine here is the icon of the Mother of God "Trubchevskaya," painted in 1765 by monk Euphemius at the Choln men's monastery near the city of Trubchevsk, which is now located in the Bryansk region.
