The Svyato-Uspensky Monastery was founded on Yamskaya Hill in 1673 after the Bogoyavlensky Monastery burned to the ground and it was decided not to rebuild it but to build a new monastery in a new location. In 1688 the Dormition Church was completed and this was joined in 1879 by the Trinity Cathedral. However in the 1920s the monastery was closed and the Trinity Cathedral was blown up in 1930 and the Dormition Church was destroyed in 1980. In 1992 the territory of the former monastery was returned to the Orthodox Church which re-established the monastery in 1996 and ordered the building of new churches. The Dormition Church was rebuilt and consecrated in 2002 and the new Our Lady of Kazan Cathedral was built between 2005 and 2011. The only surviving original church is the small Trinity Church which dates from 1845.
