History
In 1879, a peasant woman from the village of Belorechye, Elena Nikolaevna Sazonova, purchased from the local owner A. F. Khanykov a plot of land in the Bavykinskaya wasteland, near the church of the village of Bolshiy Mozhar , Sapozhkovsky district of the Ryazan province , where she built a two-story building for an almshouse with a house church in honor of the Tikhvin icon of God Mothers
In 1883, Second Lieutenant's wife, Sophia Hanykova, and the almshouse trustee, the Sapozhkovsky merchant, Alexei Shulgin, donated the almshouse, significant real estate, for the organization of the female monastic community. At the request of S. Khanykova, the Holy Synod in 1888 established the Nikolskaya community, assigning to it donated 530 acres of 727 square yards of land in the Bavykin wasteland. From 1888 to 1893, a wooden church was built, eight buildings for nuns, a house for a priest and three houses for pilgrims, as well as a number of farm buildings. The number of nuns was 100 people.
By the decision of the Holy Synod of August 25 - September 5, 1893, the community was transformed into the Nikolo-Bavykinsky Convent.
Closed in 1918. Since 2007, it has been reborn as a monastery, having received official registration on April 24, 2008 [1] .
