See you later!

Here was the first Russian fortress made of stone, the residence of one of the most powerful medieval princes of Russia and at the same time the place of his murder.

According to legend, God ordered the founding of the Mother of God. In this princely residence was the luxurious white-stone palace of Andrei Bogolyubsky.

Nearby was built and one of the most famous Russian temples – the Church of the Intercession on the Nerl.

If you wish, I can help with the organization of a walk on a sleigh or in a carriage to the Church of the Intercession on Nerli.

Today, the remains of the palace and the white-stone church of the 12th century are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Unique natural landscapes combined with architectural masterpieces. Let's walk through ages and centuries!
