Trinity Alexander Nevsky Convent is quite young - it is only a little over 100 years old. It was transformed from a women's community in 1889 at the expense of a poor merchant, Fyodor Osipovich Zakharov, who came from a peasant background. He purchased land from the local landowner G. Glebov - Streshnev, and in memory of the abolition of serfdom and in the name of the heavenly patron of the Tsar, the liberator, founded a women's community.
The community after its creation was quite poor, and the future monastery received community rights from the Holy Synod only in 1890. The first manager was the nun of the Moscow Novoalekseevsky monastery Eutykhia, who had spent more than 40 years in monastic prayers; the official founding date is considered to be 1898, when the community received the status of a monastery and became known as the Trinity Alexander - Nevsky Akatovsky Convent. In 1893, the territory was surrounded by a stone fence, other outbuildings and residential buildings were built, at which time about 150 sisters and novices lived in the monastery. In 1902-1904, according to the design of the Moscow architect Ivan Pavlovich Mashkov, the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, stylized as the 17th century, was built in the pseudo-Russian style.
Ivan Pavlovich Mashkov (1867–1945) was born in the Tambov province, near Lipetsk, in the family of a blacksmith. Having been orphaned early, he lives in Lipetsk, and in 1881, having reached the age of 14, he passes exams for the head class of the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. He receives a silver medal for his final work. In addition to construction work, he is engaged in the study and restoration of such famous monuments as St. Basil's Cathedral, the old building of Moscow University, the Rumyantsev Museum, the walls of China Town, and the Sukharev Tower. The architect is often commissioned to design churches and charitable buildings. When creating structures, he uses forms of ancient Russian stone architecture. After the revolution, the architect worked in the commission for the protection of ancient monuments together with P. Baranovsky, A. Vastsenov, D. Sukhov, I. Rylsky, thanks to the efforts of these people we can still see many preserved monuments throughout Russia.
Unfortunately, the monastery was not active all the time - various institutions were located in it. In 1917, the monastery was transformed into an agricultural commune, so it existed until 1927, when it was closed, but services in the Temple continued until 1933, after which the NKVD rest house was located on the territory of the monastery, then, in the 60s, the pioneer camp “Torch” " A dining room was set up in the Temple, and the altar was surrounded by walls.
On May 18, 2007, a new era in the life of the monastery began - the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation M. Fradkov signed a decree on the free transfer of the complex of buildings and structures of the former Trinity Alexander Nevsky Monastery to the ownership of the Compound of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus', the Church of the Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky, to the Moscow Russian Orthodox Diocese churches.
Now the monastery, which received the status of the Metochion of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus', is being revived. The magnificent cathedral has almost regained its former appearance: it has been restored and painted, and the interior decoration is being restored. The glass “cap” has been removed and the altar is being restored.

The monastery cemetery was turned into a football field. The camp has not operated since the early 1990s.
