The Assumption Brusensky Monastery is an ancient Orthodox convent, founded in the Kolomna Kremlin in the mid-16th century as a men's monastery, and later revived as a women's monastery. It is currently an active monastery of the Moscow Diocese and a cultural heritage site of Russia.

In 1552, after a successful campaign against Kazan and the annexation of the Kazan Khanate to the Moscow Kingdom, Ivan IV the Terrible, who stopped in Kolomna before the military campaign, ordered the establishment of a men's monastery in honor of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the territory of the Kolomna Kremlin. The main church became the stone tent-like Assumption Church. On the foundation stone found in the wall of the church during restoration in the late 19th century, it is indicated that it was not built, but "glorified," meaning restored on the site of an older church with the same dedication.

By the early 20th century, more than two hundred nuns lived in the Assumption women's convent, a church-parish school was operating, and the monastery grounds were a green oasis with church domes. The monastery owned lands where the sisters set up a cow shed, a vegetable garden, and an orchard, providing food for the convent.

After 1917, with the Bolsheviks coming to power, the monastery was closed in 1919, the nuns were dispersed, the cells were turned into apartments, and a vegetable storage was arranged in the Cross Exaltation Cathedral. In the 1930s, the bell tower was destroyed, and in 1970, for the 800th anniversary of Kolomna, 30 wooden cells were demolished.

In the mid-1980s, the Assumption Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary was restored as a unique monument of tent architecture from the 16th century and in 1991 became a branch of the Kolomna Local History Museum with an exhibition "Tent Architecture of the Moscow Region."

In October 1997, monastic life resumed at the Assumption Brusensky Monastery. The Assumption and Cross Exaltation Churches and some buildings were transferred to the monastery. In the refectory of the Assumption Church, the John Chrysostom and Kazan chapels were restored and consecrated, where services began to be held, and the main altar of the church was consecrated shortly thereafter.

Today, the Assumption Monastery is gradually being restored. The churches and buildings have been renovated, the territory has been improved, and a permanent exhibition about the history of the convent and its current state operates in one of the cell buildings. Daily services and church rites are held in the Assumption Church. Among the relics of the convent are the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, the "Inexhaustible Cup," the "Holy New Martyrs and Confessors of the Brusensky Monastery," as well as two icons with relics, "Saint Philaret, Metropolitan of Moscow" and "Saint Dimitry, Metropolitan of Rostov."
