      • The monastery was founded in 1799 in the former bishop's house, to keep it from being demolished or given over to barracks.
      • The brethren of the Epiphany Golutvin Monastery were moved here, hence the name "Novo-Golutvin" (New Golutvin).
      • The convent's Trinity Church was built in 1680–1705.
      • The bell tower of 1825, 55 meters high, is one of the tallest in Kolomna.
      • The wall with turrets from the 1820s was deliberately styled as a medieval fortress, with machicolations and spires.
      • Until 1919 the monastery was for men, and in 1989 it reopened as the first communal convent for women in the Moscow diocese.
