The Convent is located five minutes from the city centre. It was founded at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries by Prince Vsevolod the Big Nest at the insistence of his wife, Princess Maria Shvarnovna.
Before the grand princely throne was moved to Moscow, the convent served as the burial place for the great princesses of Vladimir; in honor of this, the convent came to be known as Knyaginin.
The convent was established by Princess Maria Shvarnovna with the intention of taking monastic vows there and spending the rest of her life, in accordance with the custom of the time.
