The monastery was founded in 1398 near Zvenigorod (50 km distance from Moscow) on the high bank of the Moskva river, at Storozh mountain which served as a fortification for Moscow principality. It was founded by the right reverend Savva, a Wondermaker from Zvenigorod, one of the first apprentices of the right reverend Sergiy Radonezhskiy, at request of Yuriy Dmitrievich, the prince of Zvenigorod, the second son of the Great Moscow prince Dmitriy Donskoy.
August 22, 1998 Savvino-Storozhevskiy monastery celebrated its 600th jubilee. His Holiness the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Aleksiy II, upon the Liturgy in Moscow St. Danila monastery solemnly brought the right reverend Savva – the dwelling founder’s relics to Zvenigorod. In 2007 the monument to the right reverend Savva was opened.
The legendary kvas (a traditional Russian beverage) with raisins (adding additional wine fermentation) and monastery pastry are done in the monastery.
Starting from 2007 the famous Savvinskaya Fair of folk arts and crafts has been restored. In the pre-revolutionary time it was the most famous one. The fair is held at Savvino-Storozhevskiy monastery walls at the end of August.
