history
The place was founded in 1559, possibly named after a Nogai leader named Diwei, who came under Russian rule a little earlier as a result of the Moscow-Kazan wars , in which the Nogai horde was also involved, and was allowed to settle in the area with his subjects. Located on the pilgrimage route to the Russian Orthodox Sarov Monastery , founded in 1706, a community of predominantly nuns arose in Diwejewo in the second half of the 18th century , and several churches were built. In 1861 she received the official status of the Trinity Seraphim Convent, with Seraphim von Sarov as its namesake. Administratively, the place belonged from 1779 to the Ujesd Ardatow of the governorship of Nizhny Novgorod, from 1796 to the governorate of Nizhny Novgorod .
With the introduction of the rajon structure, the place came on June 10, 1929 to the Gluchowski rajon with its seat in the village of Gluchowo, 20 km northeast . In 1931 the administrative seat was moved to Diwejewo and the Rajon was renamed accordingly.
The monastery, which was closed in the Soviet period in 1927, was reopened in 1991 and is now a much visited place of pilgrimage , especially since the originally more important Sarov monastery is only partially accessible to the public due to the closed status of the city.
