The history of the monastery began with a charitable institution for the elderly at the All Saints Church. The church-chapel was built in 1849-1856 thanks to Upper Gorodkov merchant Pavel Kropachev and initially served as a cemetery church affiliated with the Nativity of Christ Church in the village of Upper Chusovskie Gorodki. In the 1920s, the church was closed, and the building was used as a match factory. At the request of the community, the building was returned in 1946 after the closure of the Nativity Church. From 1955 to 1981, the rector of the All Saints Church was Elder Archpriest Nikolai Rogozin.
In 1989, a charitable institution opened at the church, housing about ten elderly women, many of whom were spiritual children of Father Nikolai. By the decree of Archbishop Afanasy of Perm and Solikamsk on September 18, 1992, the charitable institution was officially approved. Several houses for the elderly were built near the church, and a household was organized. Young sisters wishing for monastic life came to the Holy Hill to care for the elderly women. Archimandrite Ioann Krystiankin from the Pskovo-Pechersky Monastery blessed the creation of the women's community.
In 1996, the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church blessed the restoration of the Kazan Trinity Convent at the All Saints Church in the village of Upper Chusovskie Gorodki. The abbess of the monastery became nun Ksenia Oshipkova, and the spiritual father was igumen Savvaty Rudakov.
In 1998, the reconstruction of the church began: it was expanded with a new altar and a warm narthex, and the bell tower and octagon were restored. The Holy Gates and fence were also rebuilt on the old foundation.
Bishop Irinarh of Perm and Solikamsk visited the convent three times. On May 4, 2003, he consecrated the altar.
The main shrine of the monastery is the miraculous icon of the Mother of God of Kazan. According to tradition, in the 18th century, local residents found it in the waters of a forest spring near the village of Zabolotye, five kilometers from Upper Chusovskie Gorodki. The peasants brought the icon to the parish church of the Nativity of Christ, but the next day it disappeared and was found again at the spring. This happened three times, after which a chapel was built over the spring to house the icon. During the years of persecution against Orthodoxy, the icon miraculously survived and was brought to the All Saints Church. The water from the spring where the icon was found is known for its healing power, and many cases of healing have been recorded.
The monastery is also named after the holy venerable Trifon of Vyatka, who founded the Assumption Men's Monastery here over 400 years ago, which was abolished under Catherine II. Venerable Trifon is revered as an enlightener and protector of these lands. Near the village of Uspenka, where he lived, there is also a miraculous spring with healing water.
From 1955 to 1981, the righteous elder, Father Nikolai Rogozin, lived on the Holy Hill. For over 20 years, he was the rector of the All Saints Church in Chusovskie Gorodki. More than 1,000 people attended the transfer of his remains in August 2001.
The spring of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker is located on the banks of the Usolka River, near the monastery. The icon of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker was brought to the All Saints Church from a church in Starye Lyady, where it was venerated as miraculous. The crucifix from the Holy Nicholas Belogorsky Monastery was brought by believers during the years of persecution.
