The women's monastery in the village of Nazarievo (now the territory of the settlement of Lezhnevo) was founded at the end of the 19th century near a small church. It is located on the high left bank of the Ukhtokhma River, on the outskirts of the former village of Nazarievo, now included in the boundaries of Lezhnevo.
The first temple of the monastery was the Nikolskaya cemetery church. The main temple of the village of Nazarievo was the Pokrovskaya church (now the Lezhnevskoye forestry). On the territory of the monastery there was a parish cemetery (apparently destroyed in Soviet times), where, through the efforts of the peasant Semyon Filippovich Neplokhov, the currently operating Nikolskaya church was built in 1877.
