The village of Moshonki in the Meshchovsky district was called a small village in 1634 and belonged to the boyars Zvorikhin. It was referred to by various names: Moshiny, Moshnitsy, Moshnitskiye Verkh. Researchers believe that the name likely comes from the word "moshna," meaning wallet. In 1735, the village was renamed Alexandrovsk in honor of the Church of Saint Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky. At that time, these lands belonged to the Urusov princes, a family of Nogai descent, tracing their lineage back to Edigei Mangit, the first ruler of the Nogai Horde.

In 1755, Prince Alexander Alexeyevich Urusov built a large stone church here. Documents preserved in the Kaluga regional archive confirm that the customer of the Alexander Nevsky church in the village of Moshonki on the Great Bryansk road was Prince Alexander Alexeyevich Urusov.

According to inventories from 1782, there were two manor houses near the church, one stone and one wooden, as well as two fruit orchards enclosed by stone fences. A flour mill operated on the Serona River. On Sundays, markets were held in the village, attracting residents from surrounding districts. It is known that by the end of the 18th century, Alexandrovsk had 112 houses and a population of over 600 people.

In the early 19th century, part of the land was sold to Anna Grigoryevna Voyekova, the wife of a sub-lieutenant. The main part of the estate belonged to Ivan Sidorovich Tolmachev, a participant in the 1812 war and leader of the local nobility, a knight of the Order of Saint Anna. In 1844, with his funds, a 40-meter bell tower with a chapel in honor of Saint Nicholas was built, which collapsed on the night of October 5-6, 1985. Until 1917, the estate belonged to the Bove family. A zemstvo school and a hospital were opened in Alexandrovsk. In 1923, the village had 170 households, with four tea houses and two bakeries operating.

In 1930, the collective farm "Rassvet" was organized in the village. The church was closed and decapitated in 1937, and its liturgical utensils were looted. From 1961, the building was used as a grain storage for the collective farm. Despite the resumption of services in the church since 1998, the building remains in a state of emergency.
