The Kypyache Monastery of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was founded in 1917 in the Kypyache tract on the right bank of the Irsha River near Chopovychi.

According to legend, in 1911 there was a fiery icon of the Kazan Mother of God, and the water of the local spring boiled and became healing. Initially, the monastery was named in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord, and the people called it the Kypyache monastery.

The monastery lasted only 17 years and was closed by the Bolsheviks, the wooden Kazan church was dismantled. The Kypyache Men's Monastery of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was restored in 2002. The temple of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, the monastery building, the spring and the bathhouse have been restored.

After the opening of the men's monastery, several women began to live nearby, choosing the monastic life. In 2002, the development of the female stauropygial monastery in honor of the Athos icon of the Mother of God begins, the temple is laid on twelve Athos stones brought from the holy mountain. Today, the church in honor of the Athos icon of the Mother of God has several unique shrines - it is a part of the girdle of the Mother of God, the relics of 24 elders from Athos, the miraculous icon of Three Hands.
