The cave is carved into the chalk rock of the high right bank of the Don River near the village of Selyavnoye. The local peasant Petr Kurbanov began digging the cave in 1851, and later he was assisted by other people. A church and several corridors with branches were organized in the cave. The nearby Divnogorsky Monastery, fearing the outflow of parishioners, petitioned the governor to ban digging. The caves were entrusted to the monastery, and Kurbanov and his companions were accepted into the monastery brotherhood.
