Alexander Nevsky church in Kolyvan, Orthodox monastery in Kolyvan, Russia

The monastery's cathedral, built 1882–1887 with merchant Kirill Krivtsov's funds, is red brick on a rubble foundation, its walls whitewashed with lime and its base faced with local limestone blocks. An octagonal main volume and a 27-metre bell tower are joined east–west through a refectory, an eclectic design borrowing 17th-century, Byzantine and Old Russian forms.

The church was built in 1882–1887 with funds from merchant Kirill Krivtsov, in memory of Alexander II, assassinated on 1 March 1881, and consecrated on 4 December 1887. Closed in 1934, reopened in 1946, and closed again in 1962, it was left to ruin; its cupolas and bell tower were demolished in 1968. Returned to the Orthodox Church in 1990, it was restored and consecrated in 1992, and the monastery was opened by decision of the Holy Synod on 19 July 1992.

The monastery church keeps a set of revered icons with relics, among them an icon of Alexander Nevsky in the schema and one of the Mother of God called Abbess of Mount Athos. A Sunday school at the church teaches parishioners' children and orphans from the Kolyvan boarding school. Since 2023 the community has been led by Mother Maria (Gurvich).

The monastery stands in Kolyvan, a settlement in Novosibirsk Oblast, on the site of the 1882–1887 brick church; the walled churchyard follows the rectangular grid of the old merchant town. The convent is active, so visits fit around the sisters' services and the Sunday school. The church interior was stripped after its 1962 closure, so expect restored rather than original furnishings.

The church's iconostasis cost 3,000 roubles, and five Dutch stoves heated the interior. The merchant Yernakov added a parish school in 1890. A mass grave of 22 Soviet supporters killed on 6 July 1920 lies on the monastery grounds.
