The village of Vaulovo, located in the Romanovo-Borisoglebsk district, belonged to the famous noble family of Alyabyevs since the 16th century. The last owner was Count Vladimir Pavlovich Mordvinov, who transferred his estate to the St. Petersburg Ioannovsky Monastery, founded by John of Kronstadt, with whom he was acquainted, in 1903. The estate included dachas, including the dacha of the village of Vaulovo with two stone churches, a church allotment of 33 desyatinas of arable land, sacristy and other church property, as well as church capitals and buildings. The Ioannovsky Women's Monastery committed to create a refuge for elderly nuns here and to ensure regular services in the churches.

John of Kronstadt visited Vaulovo on June 26, 1903. Soon the estate began to be called the Assumption Skete of the Ioannovsky Monastery. Father John, along with the abbess Angelina, brought several nuns from St. Petersburg here. Angelina was the abbess of the skete, and her aunt, nun Evpraksia, was the manager. Thanks to their efforts, houses for the sisters and clergy, a monastery hospital, a charitable institution, and a guesthouse for pilgrims were built. The economy was supported by a small brick factory, a cattle yard, and fish ponds. Initially, nuns were sent from St. Petersburg for a year, and later for a longer period.

Vaulovo became a favorite retreat for John of Kronstadt. A wooden two-story house with a gazebo was built for him, where he loved to spend time. In 1906, he stayed here regularly, receiving guests. In the last summer of his life, he held 40 Liturgies at the skete and blessed the planting of 40 linden branches, which, despite being planted late, took root. Before his death, he gave abbess Taissia instructions on managing Vaulovo so that the sisters would continue to follow the established order. In 1908, there were about 100 sisters in the skete, and by 1917, only 84 remained. In 1919, the monastery was closed, and some sisters moved to the Ioannovsky Monastery, which existed until 1923. Others remained in Vaulovo and the surrounding villages. In 1927, information emerged about the buried relics of the monastery in Vaulovo, which were soon found. A newspaper article appeared about the discovered treasure. By the 1930s, the churches were destroyed, and the estate became part of the collective farm No. 20. In the 1950s-60s, there was a state stable in Vaulovo, later a state farm "Vaulovo," which existed until the late 1980s. Since 1997, the restoration of the Assumption Skete and the establishment of an Orthodox parish began. In 2003, Vaulovo celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding, and an altar was erected on the ruins of the Alexander Svirsky Church, where Archbishop Kirill held a liturgy.

In 2005, a cross was installed in the linden alley. In 2007, the construction of the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary began according to the old design, and on November 1, 2011, on the feast day of John of Kronstadt, the church was consecrated, and services began there.
