(Translated by Google) The condition of the museum leaves much to be desired. Creaking parquet and signs of flooding await you in the dusty halls. The staircase to the 2nd floor has not been washed since its foundation. The exhibits are interesting, but what condition are they in! Dust, dirt, faded photos. The art gallery looks better, there are many worthy works. Are these originals? How the temperature and humidity conditions are maintained with open windows. It's a shame that such a stunning building is being used so poorly. (Original) Состояние музея оставляет желать лучшего. Скрипучий паркет и следы затопления ждут вас в пыльных залах. Лестница на 2 этаж не мылась со дня основания. Экспонаты интересные, но в каком они состоянии! Пыль, грязь, выцветшие фото. Картинная галерея выглядит лучше, много достойных произведений. Это подлинники? Как соблюдается температурно - влажностной режим при открытых окнах. Очень жаль, что такое потрясающее здание так бездарно используется.

(Translated by Google) My boyfriend and I bought tickets using the Pushkin card. The website loaded very poorly. The money was debited from our cards, but the barcode still hadn't appeared after 20 minutes. We approached the cashier with this problem, where they rudely told us that it wasn't their problem. I agree with this, but it could have been said calmly. In the end, we bought a ticket with our own money and went into the art gallery. I wanted to take a photo, the museum attendant looked at me intently, after which she made a remark to me to move away from the painting, although the painting was 15 cm away. I moved away, the young man took another photo of me, but they didn't like this outcome either. A number of inappropriate comments were made by ALL the attendants, telling us to move away from here, not to go there, that they would call security now, although we walked like everyone else, didn't touch anything with our hands, and it was not forbidden to take photos. Let's sum it up, the museum staff is rude, they don't want to solve technical problems. The atmosphere is terrible, they constantly stare at you, as if they were not museum guards, but prison guards. (Original) Мы с молодым человеком покупали билеты по Пушкинской карте. Сайт очень плохо грузил. Деньги с наших карт списаны, но штрих код так и не появился спустя 20мин. Мы подходим с этой проблемой на кассу, где нам в грубой форме говорят, что это не их проблема. С этим я согласна, но это можно было сказать спокойно. В итоге мы купили билет за свои деньги и зашли в картинную галерею. Я хотела сфотографироваться, на меня пристально смотрела музейный смотритель, после чего сделала мне замечание, чтобы я отошла от картины, хотя до картины было 15 см. Я отошла, меня сфотографировал молодой человек ещё раз, но и такой исход событий им не понравился. Было сделан ещё ряд неуместных замечаний от ВСЕХ смотрителей, чтобы мы от сюда отошли, туда не ходили, что они сейчас вызовут охрану, хотя мы ходили, как все, ничего не трогали руками, фотографироваться было не запрещено. Подведём итоги, персонал музея грубый, решать технические проблемы они не хотят. Обстановка ужасная, на тебя постоянно пристально смотрят, как будто они не музейные смотритель, а тюремные надзиратели.

(Translated by Google) Terrible service staff, they stare at you everywhere. Buying tickets is complete nonsense. We came to buy with a Pushkin card. We bought one event, waited 15 minutes (and never got one). We decided to take another one, and the ticket arrived in 3 minutes. We were able to go to the art gallery. The paintings are very beautiful, but it was unbearable to be near such employees. (Original) Ужасный обслуживающий персонал, везде на тебя "пялит" своими глазами. Покупка билетов полный абсурд. Пришли покупать по пушкинской карте. Приобрели одно мероприятие, ждали 15 минут(так и не дождались). Решили взять ещё одно, там уже через 3 минуты пришёл билет. Смогли сходить на картинную галерию. Картины очень красивые, но находится рядом с такими работниками было невыносимо.

(Translated by Google) We took a ticket for 150r/person. As I understand it, we walked around the entire museum. It took about 40 minutes. The impression was positive. The exhibits are varied. At the end there was an art gallery. I recommend visiting this museum. (Original) Взяли билет за 150р/чел. Как я поняла, мы обошли весь музей. Заняло это минут 40. Впечатление осталось положительное. Экспонаты разнообразные. В заключение была картинная галерея. Советую посетить данный музей.

(Translated by Google) Externally, it is a very beautiful, atmospheric building; the internal exhibition did not impress me, with the exception of the furniture collection. I especially liked the furniture from the Ilovna and Borisogleb estate, very fine workmanship, beauty and functionality, you can immediately see the work of not just furniture makers, but artists. (Original) Внешне очень красивое, атмосферное здание, внутренняя экспозиция меня не впечатлила за исключенением коллекции мебели . Особенно понравилась мебель из усадьбы Иловна и Борисоглеб, очень тонкая работа, красота и функциональность, сразу видна работа не просто мнбел щиков, а художников.

(Translated by Google) A small but quite interesting museum. The children enjoyed exploring the contents of its halls. I was surprised by the collection of paintings, albeit a little, but what famous artists! Shishkin, Aivazovsky, Serebryakova, Makovsky. Thank you, I liked it! (Original) Небольшой, но довольно интересный музей. Дети с удовольствием изучали содержимое его залов. Удивила коллекция картин, пусть немного, но какие именитые художники! Шишкин, Айвазовский, Серебрякова, Маковский. Спасибо, понравилось!

(Translated by Google) Local history. The most powerful museum in Rybinsk. (Original) Краеведческий. Сильнейший музей Рыбинска.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful monastery with magnificent frescoes between two beautiful lakes. Currently it functions primarily as a museum. The price of a complex ticket is 1000 rubles, a ticket to the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary from 1490 with frescoes from 1502 by Dionysius is 650 rubles (September 2024) The cathedral with frescoes has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000 (the only one in the Vologda region). The village has got good roads and even new bus stops. However, there is no transport from the village itself. Even the short Kirillovo-Feropontov route was no longer running as of September 2024. They also didn't bother to make lockers for storing luggage. Probably, according to local authorities and the museum, people can only get here by personal transport, taxi, or as part of organized groups. But the monastery itself and the frescoes are magnificent. (Original) Очень красивый монастырь с великолепными фресками между двух красивых озер. В настоящее время функционирует преимущественно как музей. Цена комплексного билета 1000 рублей, билета в Собор Рождества пресвятой Богородицы 1490 года с фресками 1502 года Дионисия- 650 руб (сентябрь 2024) Собор с фресками объект всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО ещё с 2000 года (единственный на Вологодскую область). В селе сделали хороший дороги и даже новые автобусные остановки. Однако, транспорт с само село не ходит. Даже короткий маршрут Кириллово- Феропонтова на сентябрь 2024 уже не ходил. Шкафчики для хранения багажа также не удосужились сделать. Вероятно, по мнению местных властей и музея сюда добираются только на личном транспорте, такси или в составе организованных групп. Но сам монастырь и фрески великолепны.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful monastery, of course, be sure to read the eventful history of the monastery if you are traveling independently and without a guide. We took a taxi from the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery, on the way we visited the Church of Elijah the Prophet in Tsypino. The trip took a little over three hours, we were in no hurry. The cost of a taxi is 3000 rubles. We ordered by phone, Yandex Go does not work in Kirillov. The monastery is chamber, like in the picture. Therefore, you will have the opportunity to walk along its walls from the outside (be sure to do this) and even swim in the lake. The frescoes of Dionysius of the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary can only be viewed in sessions (check the session time when buying tickets). The session is preceded by a viewing of a film about the creation of the wall painting (we missed it). The time you spend in the cathedral is about twenty minutes, which is quite enough. Of course, the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery is much more interesting. But it is simply necessary to see the miraculously preserved frescoes, especially since the Ferapontov Monastery ensemble is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. (Original) Замечательный монастырь, конечно, обязательно прочтите богатую событиями историю монастыря, если путешествуете самостоятельно и без гида. Были на такси из Кирилло-Белозерского монастыря, по пути посетили церковь Ильи Пророка в Цыпино. Поездка заняла чуть более трех часов, не спешили. Стоимость такси 3000 руб. Заказывали по телефонному номеру, Яндекс Go в Кириллове не работает. Монастырь камерный, как с картинки. Поэтому у вас будет возможность обойти его вдоль стен с внешней стороны (сделайте это обязательно) и даже искупаться в озере. Фрески Дионисия собора Рождества Богородицы можно посмотреть только по сеансам (уточняйте время сеанса при покупке билетов). Сеансу предшествует просмотр фильма о создании стенной росписи (мы пропустили). Время вашего нахождения в соборе - около двадцати минут, что вполне достаточно. Конечно, Кирилло-Белозерский монастырь намного интереснее. Но и чудом сохранившиеся фрески посмотреть просто необходимо, тем более именно ансамбль Ферапонтова монастыря является объектом Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО.

(Translated by Google) Great place! A small and very cozy monastery on the shore of a beautiful lake. Feels like home inside. You can immediately feel the prayed place. The frescoes are simply gorgeous. It’s even scary to imagine how many people have seen them throughout their existence. There is also a functioning temple inside. Beautiful! Huge collection of spinning wheels. There is a gig and a sleigh. (Original) Шикарное место! Небольшой и очень уютный монастырь на берегу красивого озера. Внутри ощущения дома. Сразу чувствуется намоленное место. Фрески просто шикарные. Даже страшно представить сколько людей их видело за все время существования. Действующий храм внутри тоже располагает. Красивый! Огромная коллекция прялок. Есть двуколка и сани.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful monastery on the very shore of the lake. The area is well-groomed, even the grass is mowed, the walls are whitewashed, everything is very beautiful and neat. Services are held in the gate church. In the monastery are the relics of St. Martinian. Most of the monastery belongs to the museum. To enter some churches you need to pay money. A functioning church is, of course, free of charge. (Original) Замечательный монастырь на самом берегу озера. Территория ухоженная, даже трава скошена, стены выбелены, всё очень красиво и аккуратно. В надвратной церкви проходят службы. В монастыре - мощи святого Мартиниана. Бо́льшая часть монастыря принадлежит музею. Для входа в некоторые церкви нужно платить деньги. Действующая церковь, естественно, бесплатно.

(Translated by Google) A small territory of the monastery located on the shore of a beautiful lake. Inside, only the frescoes of Dionysius are interesting. It will not take much time to view the exhibition. Before viewing the frescoes, a 10-minute film is shown. The downside is that in the hall with frescoes they give you a laminated piece of paper identifying the frescoes, but you really want to hear the story of a living person. (Original) Небольшая территория монастыря, расположенного на берегу красивого озера. Внутри интересны только фрески Дионисия. На осмотр экспозиции много времени не потребуется. Перед осмотром фрескок идёт демонстрация 10 минутного фильма. Минус в том, что в зал с фрескиами дают в руки ламинированую бумажку с идентификации фресок, а так хочется сусоышать рассказ живого человека.

(Translated by Google) HOLY PLACES - Grace is directly felt here. The area is very interesting. The frescoes of Dionysius are a must see. Everything inside is modern. There are many ancient objects and icons in the temples. They talk very interestingly about how the cathedral was painted by Dionysius and how it was restored in Soviet times - it’s really fascinating. But, if you are hoping to have somewhere to eat near the monastery, I will disappoint you. There are no cafes and only a couple of local shops. It was interesting to visit the crafts workshop. I recommend it to everyone. (Original) СВЯТЫЕ МЕСТА - здесь прямо чувствуется Благодать. На территории очень интересно. Фрески Дионисия - это то, что нужно посмотреть обязательно. Внутри всё современно. В храмах много древних объектов, икон. Очень интересно рассказывают о том, как происходила роспись собора Дионисием и о том, как реставрировали в советское время - это прямо очень захватывает. Но, если вы надеетесь где-то перекусить вблизи монастыря, я вас разочарую. Здесь нет кафе и только пару местных магазинов. Интересно и было посетить мастерскую ремесел. Всем рекомендую.

(Translated by Google) Fellow travelers! If you're visiting Kirillov or just passing through, stop by Ferapontovo. The place is blessed and beautiful, and just being here is a joy. The monastery was founded in the 14th century. Vasily the Dark came here before seizing the Moscow throne from Shemyaka. The odious and controversial Patriarch Nikon, whose actions led to the church schism that gave birth to the Old Believers, was exiled here. The monastery is under UNESCO protection for its frescoes of St. Dionysius, who painted the walls with his sons in the early 16th century. Inside, there's a 16th-century church with very, very ancient interiors. Tours are available. There are several types of tickets, meaning you can't just buy one and see everything. Admission to the grounds is free, but there's a fee for the exhibitions. The monastery's refectory (dining room) is full of artifacts, and you can also see how and from what the frescoes were made. There's a souvenir shop with icons, as well as interesting trinkets and food items, including authentic ones. The parking lot in front of the monastery usually sells pottery made by a local artisan – very high-quality (I've been using it for years and have even introduced friends to it) – made of black and brown clay, unpainted, without Khokhloma, Gzhel, or other fancy touches, just plain pottery. There are shops in the village, but food is a problem. But the district center of Kirillov is nearby, so you can find something for yourself. Overall, don't miss this unique place. And for those who enjoy standing by a clear northern lake, listening to the rustling breeze and the ringing of bells, this place is a real treat, as an added bonus. I live in St. Petersburg and have been here probably 15 times. It's absolutely beautiful... (Original) Друзья-путешественники! Если приехали в Кириллов или просто едете мимо - заверните в Ферапонтово. Места благодатные, красивые, само пребывание тут приятно душе. Монастырь основан в 14 веке, сюда приезжал Василий Тёмный перед тем, как отобрать престол московский у Шемяки, сюда сослан был одиозный и противоречивый патриарх Никон, тот, чьи дела привели к церковному расколу, породившему староверов. Монастырь под охраной ЮНЕСКО из-за фресок святого Дионисия, расписавшего стены с сыновьями в начале 16 века. Внутри есть церковь 16 века с очень, очень и очень древним убранством. Экскурсии. Билетов несколько, т.е нет такого, что один билет - и везде можно. Вход бесплатный на территорию, а на экспозиции уже за плату. Полна артефактов трапезная (столовая) монастыря, тут же можно посмотреть, как и из чего делались фрески. Есть сувенирная лавка с иконами, а также интересными, в т.ч. аутентичными безделушками и продуктами. На парковке перед монастырём обычно продаётся керамика местного мастера - очень достойная (пользуюсь много лет и друзей подсадил) из чёрной и коричневой глины, не крашенная, без хохломы, гжели и прочей вкусовщины, просто керамика. Магазины в селе есть, с покушать трабл. Но рядом есть райцентр Кириллов для этого. В общем, не пропустите это уникальное место. А любителям постоять у чистого северного озера под шелест ветерка и звон колоколов - тому зайдёт это место на все 100, бонусом ко всему прочему. Живу в СПб, был тут раз 15, наверное. Ляпота тут...

Great monastery with the great history. Vivid and interesting for all ages

Very large 15th century monastery, a very special experience

Very interesting tour. The monastery, founded in the 1490s by the saint himself. Devastated during the Soviet era, now being restored by the newly faithful and the government as a UNESCO site. A very good museum full of retrieved and preserved icons from the churches. The site is very isolated and gives the visitor a sense of how vast Russia is and how isolated many communities are.

Get historical place. One of the first monasteries built during the 13th Century. Built by St Cyril after being instructed to leave Moscow and walking over 600 kilometers north.

Such a beautiful monastery. The singing while we were there was amazing. This is very much a must see.

The size and beauty of this Monastery by White lake can really truly only be appreciated in person.

Another amazing place to see

The city is home to the Valenok Museum, a unique museum dedicated to traditional Russian felted footwear. It was opened in 2000 after the successful exhibition and sale "Russian Valenki." The choice of Myshkin for the museum is not accidental - for over a century, the city has been a center for felt production, and local craftsmen have been renowned for their valenki. The museum features an extensive collection of valenki from various eras. Among the exhibits, you can see unusual models: boot-style felt boots, ice-skating felt boots, as well as designer options with embroidery, fur, and even in the "disco" style. A separate exhibition introduces visitors to the "sisters and brothers of the felt boot" - antique footwear from previous centuries, such as shoes, boots, and shoes. The exhibition is constantly updated, as many of the exhibited felt boots can be purchased. A distinctive feature of Myshkin felt boots is that they are made exclusively from the wool of the Romanov sheep, which gives them a characteristic gray color. The production process is completely manual: the wool is thoroughly washed, combed, and hand-felted, then boiled and dried. It takes about 2.5 kg of wool to create one pair. Interestingly, the manufacturing process has not changed for over two hundred years, and modern craftsmen follow the same techniques as their ancestors. In the past, felt boots were considered a valuable gift and were passed down through generations. In addition to their primary purpose, felt boots were also used for medical purposes, such as treating rheumatism, colds, and even hangovers. At the museum, you can learn about an old girl's divination for her future husband using a felt boot.

(Translated by Google) Very nice museum. Many thanks to the attendants for the intimacy and warm home welcome. Special thanks to the guide Nadezhda for an interesting, original story about the city of Myshkin, its myths, its inhabitants and the sights of a small old Russian town with a thousand-year history. (Original) Очень милый музей. Огромная благодарность служительницам за камерность и теплый домашний прием. Экскурсоводу Надежде отдельная благодарность за интересный, самобытный рассказ о городе Мышкине, о его мифах, о его жителях и о достопримечательностьях маленького старинного русского городка с тысячелетней историей.

(Translated by Google) Felt boots, felt boots, felt boots... A lot of felt boots, a lot of crafts made from felt boots and felt, there is a whole exhibition about shoes, boots, shoes, ballet shoes. There is a small shop at the museum where they sell souvenirs and... felt boots. Cute. The museum is located in the estate of the Chistov merchants, in a building that previously housed servants. The Chistov House itself is given over to the city library, and the remaining premises of the estate are occupied by museums. Be sure to take a walk around the estate. Admire the Volga. (Original) Валенки, валенки, валенки... Много валенок, много поделок из валенок и войлока, есть целая экспозиция об обуви, сапогах, туфельках, балетках. При музее имеется небольшая лавка, где торгуют сувенирами и... валенками. Мило. Музей расположен в усадьбе купцов Чистовых, в здании, где раньше размещалась прислуга. Сам Дом Чистовых отдан под городскую библиотеку, а остальные помещения усадьбы занимают музеи. Непременно погуляйте по усадьбе. Полюбуйтесь на Волгу.

(Translated by Google) A small and modest museum. In several rooms you can see how felt boots are created and what kind of felt boots there are)) entrance fee is symbolic, 80 rubles (Original) Небольшой и скромный музей. В нескольких комнатах можно увидеть как создаются валенки и какие валенки есть)) стоимость входа - символическая, 80 рублей

(Translated by Google) The museum is divided into several rooms. Each one tells about something different. I had great pleasure. Much was new. The kids really liked it (Original) Музей поделен на несколько комнат. В каждой рассказывают о чем то своём. Получила огромное удовольствие. Многое было ново. Детям очень понравилось

(Translated by Google) A small but very interesting exhibition. So many unusual crafts made from felt boots! The imagination of the creators is amazing! (Original) Небольшая, но очень интересная экспозиция. Столько необычных поделок из валенков! Восхищает фантазия создателей!

(Translated by Google) I really liked it, it’s a great museum, it’s better to come with a guide, you can learn a lot. Many thanks to the guide Oksana!!! (Original) Очень понравилось, великолепный музей, лучше приходить с экскурсоводом, очень много можно узнать. Огромная благодарность экскурсоводу Оксане!!!

Not exited, really. Maybe it's interesting to whom likes mouses

Nice one

Good

(Translated by Google) This is an exhibition dedicated to a cute rodent - a tiny mouse, which, according to a wonderful legend, saved the life of the city's founding father, Prince Fyodor Mstislavsky. Hence the mouse is included in both the name of the city and its ancient coat of arms. These facts prompted the creation and opening in 1990 of such an original museum, the only one in the world. So, on the coat of arms of Myshkin a bear is depicted as a totem animal from the time of the Yaroslavl principality, and the mouse is the savior of the prince. The city’s coat of arms also depicts the imperial crown. In Russia, only three cities have an imperial crown on their coat of arms - Moscow, St. Petersburg and Myshkin. The Mouse Museum itself is a unique place where you can see a huge collection of mice from different materials and countries. There are knitted mice, clay, cardboard, wooden, iron and many others. This is the world's only mouse museum, home to 13,348 mice. By the way, today there are about 6 thousand residents in the city itself. The museum is located in the wooden former house of merchant Titov, decorated with carvings. In fact, this is a museum of gifts; the collection includes exhibits donated to the museum. So, if you are going to Myshkin, take your own, original specimen of the rodent. The museum is popular, so I recommend booking in advance. The excursion lasts ~40 minutes. (Original) Это выставка, посвященная симпатичному грызуну – малюсенькой мышке, которая согласно чудесному преданию, спасла жизнь отца-основателя города, князя Федора Мстиславского. Отсюда именно мышка заложена и в названии города, и на его старинном гербе. Эти факты и побудили к созданию и открытию в 1990 году такого оригинального музея, единственного в мире. Так, на гербе Мышкина изображен медведь как тотемное животное со времен Ярославского княжества, и мышка-спасительница князя. А еще на гербе города изображена императорская корона. В России на гербе только трех городов есть императорская корона – Москва, СПб и Мышкин. Сам музей мыши – уникальное место, где можно увидеть огромную коллекцию мышей из разных материалов и стран. Здесь есть вязаные мыши, глиняные, картонные, деревянные, железные и многие другие. Это единственный в мире музей мыши, в котором живут 13348 мышей. К слову, сегодня жителей в самом городе около 6 тысяч. Музей разместился в деревянном, украшенном резьбой бывшем доме купца Титова. Фактически это музей подарков, в коллекции представлены экспонаты, переданные в дар музею. Так что, если соберетесь в Мышкин, прихватите свой, оригинальный экземпляр грызуна. Музей популярен, поэтому рекомендую время бронировать заранее. Экскурсия рассчитана на ~40 минут.

(Translated by Google) The kingdom of mice in a single Russian hut. A bunch of plush mice are mixed with mice made from other materials. Interesting? Probably yes. We took our time, there are interesting GEGs if you find them))) (Original) Царство мышей в отдельно взятой русской избе. Куча плюшевых мышей разбавлено мышами из других материалов. Интересно? Наверное да. Мы не пожалели времени, есть интересные ГЭГи, если найдёте)))

(Translated by Google) Very interesting for mouse lovers))) in this museum you can buy a ticket, not only to this one, but also to others, for example to the museum of Russian vodka. Very friendly staff!!! Everyone gave advice and helped to decide) (Original) Очень интересно для любителей мышек))) в этом музее можно купить билет, как только в этот , так и в другие, например в музей русской водки. Очень доброжелательный персонал!!! Все подсказали и помогли определиться)

(Translated by Google) An open air museum, interesting. The music and atmosphere are a little lacking, just start it up and go. Lots of antiques, household items, etc. but I would like more information. The idea is wonderful. More creativity and everything will be great! 👍👍👍👍 (Original) Музей под открытым небом, интересно. Музычки, атмосферы немного не хватает, запустили и ходи. Много старинных вещей, предметов быта и т.п. но информации хотелось бы побольше. Идея замечательная. Креатива побольше и всë будет классно! 👍👍👍👍

(Translated by Google) The Novotorzhsky Boris and Gleb Monastery is located on a high hill south of the city rampart. In 2018, the monastery celebrated its 980th anniversary. This is the oldest Orthodox monastery, founded by St. Ephraim of Novotorzhsky during the reign of Yaroslav I Vladimirovich almost at the same time as the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. Ephraim of Novotorzhsky served as an equerry for princes Boris and Gleb, and after their murder by his half-brother Svyatopolk the Accursed Ephraim became a monk. In 1038 Ephraim, together with his disciple St. Arkady built a stone temple in memory of the innocently murdered brothers - princes Boris and Gleb. The complex of the Boris and Gleb Monastery includes a cathedral (1785), a bell tower (1804), and an abbot's building (1714). The fate of the monastery, like many other monasteries, after the 1917 revolution, is tragic. The monastery was closed in 1931 and a maximum security prison was placed within its walls. After the monastery was closed, the icons were lost and the bells were dropped. The monastery is active, the territory is cozy, and interesting excursions are organized. (Original) Новоторжский Борисоглебский монастырь расположился на высоком холме южнее городского вала. В 2018 году монастырь отметил свое 980-летие. Это древнейшая православная обитель, основанная преподобным Ефремом Новоторжским во времена княжения Ярослава I Владимировича почти в одно время с Киево-Печерской лаврой. Ефрем Новоторжский служил конюшим у князей Бориса и Глеба, а после их убийства сводным братом Святополком Окаянным Ефрем принял монашество. В 1038 года Ефрем вместе со своим учеником св. Аркадием построил каменный храм в память о невинно убиенных братьев – князей Бориса и Глеба. В комплекс Борисоглебского монастыря входят собор (1785), колокольня (1804), настоятельский корпус (1714). Судьба монастыря, как и многих других обителей, после революции 1917 года, трагична. Монастырь закрыли в 1931 году и разместили в его стенах тюрьму строгого режима. После закрытия монастыря иконы были утрачены, колокола сброшены. Монастырь действующий, на территории уютно, организуются интересные экскурсии.

(Translated by Google) Novotorzhsky Borisoglebsky Monastery in the city center. Behind the high monastery walls are old, once beautiful temples and buildings that now need repair and restoration. The Temple has beautiful paintings on the walls, vaults and a calming atmosphere. In the monastery, you can climb to the observation deck, from where a beautiful panorama of the city and its surroundings opens up. The view from the deck is excellent. (Original) Новоторжский Борисоглебский монастырь в центре города. За высокими монастырскими стенами старые, некогда красивые храмы и постройки, которым сейчас требуется ремонт, реставрация. В Храме красивые росписи на стенах, сводах и успокаивающая атмосфера. В монастыре можно подняться на смотровую площадку, откуда открывается красивая панорама на город и его окрестности. Вид с площадки отличный.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful, pleasant place! Torzhok has many temples and churches with bell towers, which serve as points of attraction for tourists, and the Novotorzhsky Borisoglebsky Monastery is no exception. There is also a bell tower here - one of the few buildings on the monastery grounds, which was restored primarily to be used as a source of income - a paid observation deck. The cost of the ascent is 300 rubles per person (there are no benefits). For Torzhok, this is probably too much. For example, the ascent to the bell tower of the Ilyinskaya Church in Torzhok, which is similar in height, costs 2 times less, only 150 rubles per person, and the Ilyinskaya Church is also located on a hill, only on the opposite bank of the Tvertsa River, so the view from there is also good. An attractive ginger cat lives on the monastery grounds, who walks where he wants and for free. :)) The photo shows the very moment when I told him how much it costs to climb their bell tower. 😉😀 And if you are not just going to look with your eyes, but want to capture high-quality panoramas, then on both bell towers it is better to do this (we are talking about summer) either in the morning (immediately after opening) or in the evening (immediately before closing). Evening is even better. This is, of course, if you are ready to take everything into account at once - the location relative to the cardinal points, the most interesting directions for photographing, as well as the position of the sun and the most interesting light for photography. But in the evening of 14.08.25. it was cloudy and therefore we decided to go up in the morning of 15.08. 25 We did not get there on time, although the day before (in the evening of August 14) we were promised that they would open on August 15 at 10:00, but the ascent was opened more than an hour later... Someone did not hand over the keys to someone. 🤷 Yes, one more thing... Very dusty work was being carried out on the territory of the monastery. Without blocking the territory and without stopping the excursion, the migrant workers blew all the dust off the walls along the perimeter of the monastery before finishing work, which flew straight onto the territory and onto the visitors... Brothers, is this really possible? (Original) Красивое, приятное место! В Торжке множество храмов и церквей с колокольнями, которые служат точками притяжения туристов и Новоторжский Борисоглебский монастырь не исключение. Тут тоже есть колокольня - одна из немногих построек на территории монастыря, которую отреставрировали в первую очередь, чтобы использовать как источник дохода - платная смотровая площадка. Стоимость подъёма 300 рублей с человека (льгот нет). Для Торжка это, пожалуй, слишком много. Например, подъём на схожую по высоте колокольню Ильинской церкви в Торжке стоит в 2 раза дешевле, всего 150 рублей с человека, да и Ильинская церковь тоже находится на возвышенности, только на противоположном берегу реки Тверца, потому вид оттуда тоже хороший. На территории монастыря живёт привлекательный рыжий кот, который гуляет там, где хочет и бесплатно. :)) На фото тот самый момент, когда я ему сообщил сколько стоит подъём на их колокольню. 😉😀 И если вы собираетесь не просто посмотреть глазами, а хотите качественно запечатлеть панорамы, то как на одной, так и на другой колокольне сделать это (речь про лето) лучше либо утром (сразу после открытия), либо вечером (непосредственно перед закрытием). Вечером даже лучше. Это конечно если вы готовы учесть всё и сразу - расположение относительно сторон света, наиболее интересные направления для фотографирования, а так же положение солнца и наиболее интересный свет для фотосъёмки. Но вечером 14.08.25. было пасмурно и потому решили подняться утром 15.08. 25 Мы вовремя не попали, хотя за день до этого (вечером 14 августа) нам пообещали, что откроют 15 августа в 10:00, но подъём открыли более, чем на час позже... Кто-то кому-то не передал ключи. 🤷 Да, ещё один момент... На территории монастыря велись очень пыльные работы. Не перекрывая территорию и не останавливая экскурсии гастарбайтеры перед отделочными работами сдували всю пыль со стен по периметру монастыря, которая летела прямо на территорию и на посетителей... Братья, ну разве так можно?

(Translated by Google) Novotorzhsky Borisoglebsky monastery. The monastery is older than the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, founded in 1038, although there is no written evidence of this. Very ancient, very beautiful and of course fully consistent with its centuries-old history. Located on the banks of the Tvertsa River, in a picturesque place. Many artists paint this beauty. And in the midst of all this brilliant disrepair stands the restored bell tower. Too bright, too smooth and unimaginably correct. But artists do not paint this bell tower, and it does not decorate the monastery. Probably, the restoration of such objects must be treated very carefully. (Original) Новото́ржский Борисогле́бский монасты́рь. Монастырь, старше Киево-Печерской лавры, год основания 1038, хотя письменных свидетельств этому нет. Очень древний, очень красивый и конечно полностью соответствует своей многовековой истории. Находится на берегу реки Тверца, в живописном месте. Много художников рисуют эту красоту. И посреди всей этой блистательной ветхости высится отреставрированная колокольня. Слишком яркая, слишком ровная и немыслимо правильная. Но не рисуют эту колокольню художники, и не украшает она монастырь. Наверное, к реставрации таких объектов необходимо относится очень бережно

(Translated by Google) Cool place. Very beautiful. Well-groomed area. You can climb one of the towers for 100 rubles. Beautiful panoramic views. There are tents with church goods. Some of the buildings have been restored, while others are in the process of being restored. There is parking. There is a “hole” type toilet on site, free of charge. I recommend visiting. (Original) Классное место. Очень красивое. Ухоженная территория. Можно за 100 рублей подняться на одну из башен. Красивые обзорные виды. Есть палатки с церковными товарами. Часть зданий отреставрированна, а часть в процессе. Есть парковка. На территории туалет по типу "дырка"😁, бесплатный. Рекомендую к посещению.

(Translated by Google) The monastery stands on the banks of the Tvertsa River, in a very picturesque place. Work is underway to reconstruct churches and bell towers one by one. The result is pleasing. The temple is spacious and solemn. Not far from the monastery there is a monument to St. Ephraim of Novotorzh. We were very lucky with the weather - warm and sunny. We took a walk to the city center and were fascinated by what we saw. We had a snack on Pozharsky cutlets and pies in Canteen No. 1 - tasty, inexpensive, cozy room. On the territory of the monastery there are kiosks with baked goods, gold embroidery products from Torzhok, and a church shop. If you go left and walk a little, you can have a delicious lunch at the “Monastic Meal” made from beautiful earthenware. (Original) Монастырь стоит на берегу реки Тверца, в очень живописном месте. Ведутся работы по реконструкции храмов, колоколен поочередно. Результат радует. Храм просторный, торжественный. Недалеко от монастыря - памятник Преподобному Ефрему Новоторжскому. С погодой очень повезло - тепло, солнечно. Прогулялись пешком в центр города и остались очарованы увиденным. Перекусили пожарскими котлетами и пирожками в Столовой №1 - вкусно, недорого, уютное помещение. На территории монастыря стоят киоски с выпечкой, с золотошвейными изделиями г.Торжка, церковная лавка. Если выйти налево и немного пройти, то можно вкусно пообедать в «Монастырской трапезе» из красивой глиняной посуды.

(Translated by Google) An interesting place, especially if you visit it at intervals of a year or more. Slowly everything is being restored to its original state, but it feels like there is not enough money. Ordinary tourists like us will be interested in climbing the bell tower gate, the views are amazing! The price tag has increased from 50 rubles to 100 rubles per person. There is a refectory around the corner in the monastery, we highly recommend it! (Original) Интересное место, особенно если бывать в нем с интервалом в год или больше. Потихоньку все приводят к оригинальном состоянию, но чувствуется что денег мало. Обычным туристам, как мы будет интересно подняться на ворота-колокольню, виды потрясающие! Ценник подрос с 50 руб до 100 руб с человека. За углом в монастыре трапезная, настоятельно рекомендуем!

(Translated by Google) Somehow this monastery is not well-known, and I came across it quite by accident, somewhere I saw a photo of the Kazan Cathedral. I compared it with our planned route and it turned out that we would be passing through (and spending the night) very close by: well, why not stop by. Let's go. From the highway we turn onto Siversova Street, and it’s very close there. We drive a little past the monastery and behind it there is a parking lot with information about the monastery. After what our revolutionary atheists did there, only the Kazan Cathedral has been fully restored so far. Well, the Sophia Chapel is next to it (but it is completely new, as is the sculpture of St. John of Kronstadt not far from the entrance). All other buildings are still in a sad state and require a lot of time and money. Some work is going on in the interiors of the Andronikovsky Cathedral, but when we were in the monastery (August 21, Wednesday, from 8.30 to 10 o’clock) there was no movement there and the doors of the cathedral were tightly closed. But the Kazan Cathedral turned out to be open: a large pinkish building of lush, even some kind of riotous architecture with many small details and elements. But its interior turned out to be bright, clean and calm. Classic. Filled with light. Fascinating! Interesting contrast! Well, it's deserted here for now. Apparently that’s why it’s not just allowed here, but recommended to take photographs (a rare occurrence for monasteries) and post them on the internet so that people can learn at least something about this place. Very small area. Two huge cathedrals. This also doesn't happen often. But still, now you can safely enter the territory, calmly enter one of the cathedrals and, perhaps, support the restoration of this wonderful place with at least some money. (Original) Как-то не на слуху этот монастырь, и наткнулся я на него совершенно случайно, где-то увидев фото Казанского собора. Сопоставил с нашим планируемым маршрутом и оказалось, что мы будем проезжать (да и ночевать) совсем неподалёку: ну почему бы и не заехать. Заехали. От трассы сворачиваем на Сиверсову улицу, а там совсем рядом. Проезжаем немного монастырь и за ним устроена парковка с информацией о монастыре. После того, что в нём натворили наши революционные богоборцы, вполне восстановлен пока только Казанский собор. Ну и Софийская часовенка рядом с ним (но она совсем новая, также как и скульптура Св. Иоанна Кронштадтского неподалёку от входа). Все остальные постройки пока в печальном состоянии и требуют много времени и денег. Какая-то работа идёт в интерьерах Андрониковского собора, но, когда мы были в монастыре (21 августа, в среду, с 8.30 до 10 час) никакого движения там не наблюдалось и двери собора были закрыты наглухо. Зато открытым оказался Казанский собор: большое розоватое здание пышной, даже какой-то буйной архитектуры с множеством мелких деталей и элементов. Зато интерьер его оказался светлым, чистым и спокойным. Классическим. Наполненным светом. Завораживающим! Интересный контраст! Ну и пока здесь безлюдно. Видимо поэтому здесь не просто разрешают, а рекомендуют фотографировать (редкий для монастырей случай) и выкладывать в сетях, чтобы народ хоть что-то узнал об этом месте. Очень небольшая территория. Два громадных собора. Такое тоже нечасто встречается. Но всё-таки сейчас спокойно можно попасть на территорию, спокойно войти в один из соборов и, возможно, хоть какой-то денежкой поддержать восстановление этого замечательного места.

(Translated by Google) The Vyshnevolotsk Kazan Convent was founded in 1872 on the site of the appearance of the miraculous Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, which for centuries was revered as the Great Shrine of the Vyshnevolotsk land. At the site of the apparition at the holy spring, a chapel was erected for her stay, and subsequently a temple with a bell tower, where the miraculous image was located until the destruction of the monastery. By the beginning of the 20th century, the monastery became one of the largest in Russia, numbering about 1000 nuns. It had many workshops, including painting, embroidery, sewing, shoe making and bookbinding. An orphanage was organized at the monastery, where up to 250 girls were educated, a parish school, and hospices and almshouses were maintained. After the revolution in 1919, the monastery was closed and subjected to merciless destruction. The temple with the bell tower, where the miraculous Kazan icon resided, the fence, most of the wooden buildings were destroyed, the heads of the cathedrals were demolished, and their interior decoration was lost. During Soviet times, a military unit was located on the territory of the monastery. The drainage system was ruined, as a result of which swampiness returned. Constant excess moisture causes building structures to collapse. The monastery was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1991, and its revival is currently ongoing. The monastery is open daily from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm. (Original) Вышневолоцкий Казанский женский монастырь основан в 1872 году на месте явления чудотворной казанской иконы Божией матери, на протяжении веков почитавшейся Великой святыней вышневолоцкой земли. На месте явления у святого источника была воздвигнута для ее пребывания часовня, а впоследствии храм с колокольней, где чудотворный образ находился вплоть до разорения обители. К началу XX века монастырь стал одним из крупнейших в России, насчитывая около 1000 насельниц. В нем было множество мастерских, в том числе живописная, вышивания, швейная, башмачная и переплетная. При монастыре был организован детский приют, в котором воспитывалось до 250 девочек, церковно-приходская школа, содержались странноприимные дома и богадельни. После революции в 1919 году обитель была закрыта и подвергнута беспощадному разорению. Был разрушен храм с колокольней, где пребывала чудотворная Казанская икона, ограда, большинство деревянных корпусов, снесены главы соборов, утрачено их внутренне убранство. В советское время на территории обители размещалась воинская часть. Была загублена дренажная система, вследствие чего вернулась заболоченность. От постоянного избытка влаги разрушаются конструкции зданий. Монастырь был передан Русской Православной Церкви в 1991 году, в настоящее время продолжается его возрождение. Монастырь открыт ежедневно 7:00 утра до 8:00 вечера.

(Translated by Google) I stayed at the monastery with my daughter and son at the end of October. We met us, despite the late hour, fed us and provided us with an excellent room in the monastery hotel. They didn’t ask for money, but we ourselves left a donation in the temple in the morning. Restoration work is underway at the monastery, so we recommend that all guests of Vyshny Volochok not stay away. Donate! The Vyshnevolotsky Kazan Convent is worthy of this. (Original) Останавливался в монастыре вместе с дочкой и сыном в конце октября. Встретили, несмотря на поздний час, накормили и предоставили отличный номер в монастырской гостинице. Денег не попросили, но мы сами утром оставили в храме пожертвование. В обители идут восстановительные работы, поэтому рекомендуем всем гостям Вышнего Волочка не оставаться в стороне. Жертвуйте! Вышневолоцкий Казанский женский монастырь этого достоин.

(Translated by Google) Currently, restoration of most of the buildings there is underway. But we visited this place anyway. We visited a functioning church. The idea of ​​self-service in the church surprised me. And of course this is a great idea. We couldn't pass by. I would like wealthy people to donate money to restore this holy place. Every believer will want to pray to the icon of the Kazan Mother of God. The beauty of this place is amazing to the core. (Original) Пока там идёт реставрация большинства зданий. Но мы все равно посетили это место. Посетили действующую церковь. Идея самообслуживания в церкви, удивила. И конечно это замечательная идея. Мы не смогли пройти мимо. Хочется ,что бы люди, которые обеспеченные пожертвовал деньги на восстановление этого святого места. Помолится иконе Казанской божьей матери , каждому верующему человеку захочется. Красота этого места поражает до глубины души.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful but not very touristy place. The architecture of the buildings leaves a great impression. Was there in June 2021. There are almost no people. The church shop impressed me with its trust in kind people, you can take what you need and just leave the money, there is no one in the shop. It is under restoration but is open to the public. (Original) Очень красивое но малотуристическое место. Архитектура зданий оставляет большое впечатление. Была в июне 2021 года. Людей почти нет. Церковная лавка впечатлила доверием на добрых людей, можно взять что нужно и просто оставить деньги, в лавке никого нет. Находится на реставрации но открыт для посещения.

(Translated by Google) Atmospheric place. Unfortunately, the frost of minus 25 did not allow us to thoroughly examine everything, but there will be a reason to return. I was impressed by the cathedral! It is unfortunately closed and requires significant restoration. A service was going on in the chapel where the ascetics Blessed Lyubushka Susaninskaya and Schema-nun Maria of Samara were laid to rest. There are no people at all, but the frost probably scared us away. (Original) Атмосферное место. К сожалению, мороз в минус 25 не позволил тщательно все осмотреть, но будет повод вернуться. Впечатлил собор! Он к сожалению закрыт и требует значительной реставрации. В часовне, где упокоены подвижницы бладенная Любушка Сусанинская и схимонахиня Мария Самарская, шла служба. Людей нет вообще, но наверное спугнул мороз.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful architecture. One functioning small church. There is access to the relics of the blessed one. Everything else can only be seen from the street. Renovations are underway in all main buildings. 5 stars only for the architecture! (Original) Красивая архитектура. Одна действующая небольшая церквушка. Есть доступ к мощам блаженной. Всё остальное можно посмотреть только с улицы. Ремонт идёт во всех основных зданиях. 5-ка только за архитектуру!

(Translated by Google) a very interesting museum in a former temple in the shape of a bell, I have never seen so many bells. and you should definitely buy yourself a Valdai bell for your trip! (Original) очень интересный музей в бывшем храме в форме колокола, столько колоколов я еще не видел. и обязательно на дорожку надо купить себе валдайский колокольчик!

Best Target for Taurus.

(Translated by Google) You can't get here without a tour. It begins every new hour. And the excursion, I tell you, is not for everyone. A museum employee presents information emotionally, and often the show of one actor overshadows the meaningful component. The guide screamed and moaned and joked as best she could, but in fact we learned little about the bells. Disappointing. (Original) Сюда не попасть без экскурсии. Она начинается каждый новый час. И экскурсия, я вам скажу, на большого любителя. Сотрудница музея подаёт информацию эмоционально, и часто театр одного актёра перекрывает содержательную составляющую. Экскурсовод и кричала, и стонала, и шутила, как могла, но по факту про колокола узнали мы мало. Огорчительно.

(Translated by Google) 2022: The museum is in the temple building, there is only one small hall inside, but you cannot enter the hall. Entrance only with a guided tour. Tours by session. In short, we didn’t hit (( We really wanted it, the main point in Valdai, but we didn’t get there. (Original) 2022: Музей в здании храма, внутри только один маленький зал, но зайти в зал нельзя. Вход только с экскурсией. Экскурсии по сеансам. Короче не попали (( Очень хотели, главная точка в Валдае, но не попали.

(Translated by Google) On July 9, our family visited the bell museum in Valdai. And a miracle happened! We found ourselves on an excursion, or rather "in the auditorium" - at the benefit performance of the actress (or rather the tour guide) Yakovleva Nadezhda Petrovna. How amazingly, passionately, amusingly, heartfeltly Nadezhda Petrovna told us about the history of the origin of bells and bell ringing. How many interesting things we learned from Nadezhda Petrovna, heard how and what different bells and bells say. Thank you very much for such a fascinating excursion, for inspiration, for the amazing talent of the storyteller and actor Nadezhda Petrovna. I would like to wish everyone to meet this tour guide. And we say a HUGE THANK YOU to Nadezhda Petrovna, and may not only we be lucky enough to visit your excursion. (Original) 9 июля побывали семьей в музее колоколов на Валдае. И случилось чудо! Мы оказались на экскурсии , а точнее "в зрительном зале" - на бенефисе актрисы( а правильнее сказать экскурсовода) Яковлевой Надежды Петровны. Как удивительно, азартно, забавно, проникновенно рассказывала нам Надежда Петровна об истории возникновения колоколов и колокольного звона. Сколько интересного мы узнали от Надежды Петровны, услышали как и что говорят разные колокольчики и колокола. Спасибо огромное за такую увлекательную экскурсию, за вдохновение, за изумительный талант рассказчика и актера Надежде Петровне. Хочется всем пожелать, встретиться с этим экскурсоводом.А Надежде Петровне мы говорим ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО, и пусть повезет не только нам побывать на вашей экскурсии.

(Translated by Google) An amazingly bright and joyful place! Take your time and money - take a guide. The museum is not large, but with a guide it turns into a whole magical world of bells and bells. They all come to life in your hands and tell a story about themselves with their iridescence. And at the end of the excursion we rang together the melody of the Valdai bell tower. (Original) Удивительно светлое и радостное место! Не пожалейте времени и денег - возьмите экскурсовода. Музей не большой, но с экскурсоводом он превращается в целый волшебный мир колоколов и колокольчиков. Все они оживают в ваших руках и рассказывают о себе своими переливами. А в конце экскурсии мы вместе звонили мелодией колокольни Валдая.

(Translated by Google) A very unusual museum located in a church in the shape of a rotunda, which is interesting in itself. Inside there are exhibitions dedicated, naturally, to the history of bell making in Valdai, as well as the history of the Moscow-St. Petersburg highway. During the tour you can hear the sound of bells. (Original) Очень необычный музей находящийся в церкви в форме ротонды, что само по себе интересно. Внутри экспозиции, посвященные, естественно, истории колокольного дела в Валдае, а также истории тракта Москва - Санкт-Петербург. Во время экскурсии можно услышать звучание колоколов.

Ok

No

(Translated by Google) An incredibly sincere, quiet, beautiful, simply fabulous place! Pine trees, clean air and water, sandy beach. We came as a group of 14 people with children. We rented a large wooden house with a bathhouse. We walked along the shore, in the forest, rode horses, took 2 boats to the monastery on the island. The boat cost 800 rubles per person, despite the fact that there were still free seats, and it would be cheaper. We will remember three days for the rest of our lives! We will definitely come back here, perhaps with tents in the summer - that’s how Muscovites spend their holidays there. The road to Ostashkov was normal, and then it was all broken, which took up time. But it's still worth it. And the monastery itself is very beautiful!) (Original) Невероятно душевное, тихое, красивое, просто сказочное место! Сосны, чистейший воздух и вода, песчаный берег. Мы приезжали компанией 14 человек с детьми. Снимали большой деревянный дом с баней. Гуляли по берегу, в лесу, катались на лошадях, брали 2 катера до монастыря на острове. Катер обошелся по 800 р на человека, это притом, что оставались свободные места, а так будет дешевле. Три дня мы запомнили на всю жизнь! Обязательно вернемся сюда, возможно, с палатками летом, - там так и отдыхают, в основном, москвичи. Дорога до Осташкова была нормальная, а потом - вся разбитая, что отнимает время. Но все равно это того стоит. А монастырь сам очень красивый!)

(Translated by Google) We had a wonderful time with friends, breathing in the fresh air, windsurfing, camping, tents, and singing along to the guitar. It was so romantic. A very picturesque and pleasant place. I recommend visiting at least once. (Original) Прекрасно отдохнули с друзьями, подышали свежим воздухом, покатались на виндсерфе, костер, палатки, песни под гитару. Романтика). Очень живописное и приятное место. Рекомендую хотябы раз побывать.

(Translated by Google) The places are amazing: the air is clean, the water is clear, the fish are the sea, every corner breathes history, “savages” are at every step, but you can always find your own secluded place and... bears nearby, on the other end of the island the size of a finite coin. Fairy tale! (Original) Места удивительные: воздух чистейший, вода прозрачная, рыбы - море, историей дышит каждый уголок, "дикари" на каждом шагу, но всегда можно найти и своё укромное местечко и ... медведи рядом, на другом конце острова размером с конечную монету. Сказка!

(Translated by Google) A wonderful holiday destination at any time of the year. In summer, of course, it is crowded, but you can find a quiet place. Fishing makes me happy. The place is suitable for getting away from civilization without risk. (Original) Прекрасное место отдыха в любое время года. Летом, конечно, многолюдно, но можно найти тихое местечко. Рыбалка радует. Место подходит для того чтобы оторваться от цивилизации без риска.

(Translated by Google) It is difficult to describe in words the beauty of Lake Seliger; one of its pearls is the Nilo-Stolobenskaya Hermitage. This is a monastery founded at the end of the 16th century. Upon entering, you are greeted by a statue of St. Neil, and behind it there is a magnificent view of the Epiphany Cathedral. From it you can get to the bell tower, on which there is an observation deck. Climb it (especially since the price is a symbolic 100 rubles) and you will have a view of almost the entire lake. (Original) Сложно описать словами красоты озера Селигер, одной из его жемчужин является Нило-Столобенская пустынь. Это мужской монастырь, основанный в конце 16 века. При входе вас встречает статуя преподобного Нила, а за ней открывается великолепный вид на Богоявленский собор. Из него можно попасть на колокольню, на которой располагается смотровая площадка. Поднимитесь на неё (тем более, что цена символические 100 рублей) и вам откроется вид почти на всё озеро.

Very nice views.aspecially recommend to take a stairs upto bell tower. Probably, a good and saint place for orthodox Christians.

A very special place that will stay in the memory. Quiet and peaceful.

Very calm and quite place. Settled on island, but has all necessary for live in a monastery. If you are on Seliger - worth visiting

It's simply a very special place!

Fantastic place

Perfect

For summer 👌👌👌

Some trivia for visitors... St Sophia is the intelligence agency's official church! Operatives pray beneath a fresco of the warrior saints Alexander Nevsky and Dmitry Donskoi, renowned for their victories over foreign invaders.

One of the oldest Orthodox Church in Russia. Almost 1000 years old. If you are in Novgorod must visit.

A must-see when you are in Novgorod. One of the oldest cathedrals in Russia.

One of the mos amazing place the Kremlin. Paceful. There are just a few tourist. Inside forbidden to take a picture. The iconostas one of the most anciant in Russia.

Its beautiful. Close to the millennium bell. You can walk around that park/kremlin area and see the bells too.

One of the oldest Orthodox church in Russia.

Nice cathedral, passed by it while visiting the sites in Veliky Novgorod. Didn't enter tho.

a bronze monument sculptures hundreds of iconic Russian people.

Centuries of Russian history in one sculpture. Monumental...

A very tastefully done, lets you read the history of Russia like a comic book. Definitely worth seeing.

I never thought Russia had such a monument in respect of friendship and great history with Lithuania. Cpaciba!

Loved the place, historical and beautiful

Absolutely amazing, the level of detail in this monument is incredible, a breathtaking piece of art, the design represents the main historical characters and events in russian history.

Beautiful place, the main park works till 11 or 12 but not 24 hours as its mantioned in web sites... Beautiful 👍👍👍

Lovely place to visit if you are interested in historical Russian architecture and ethnography. Visited with my kids and they were really excited. The area is quite big and has various types of buildings to explore.

Save your precious time and money, almost 80% things are closed due to construction work. I still decided to go, really beautiful place. Can easily reach via Bus No. 7 (use 2GIS app for bus routes and timings).

This is a definite must go if you are in the town of Veliky Novgorod. This outdoor museum provides a pretty good flavour of how Russian houses and buildings in the countryside used to look like in the past. It was also a very pleasant surprise to find out that we could enter the buildings and poke around at the various recreated scenes. Only giving it a 4 stars because two thirds of the museum was closed for restoration when I visited

It's nice but there is not that much to see, if you go then also visit the cathedral and the lake near by

The outdoor wooden architecture museum presenting the village life in the past.

It's a place where you can look at unique examples of old Russian wooden architecture. Definitely a must!

Very interesting to see old wooden Russian buildings, brought from different places in Russia, old wooden churches and expositions inside those old buildings.

Shlisselburg is located at the source of the Neva River from Lake Ladoga. The main attraction of the city is the ancient fortress of Oreshek (sometimes mistakenly called Oreshnik), one of the oldest in Russia. The fortress was founded in 1323 by Prince Yuri Danilovich of Novgorod, the grandson of Alexander Nevsky, on Orekhov Island, which was named after the abundance of hazelnuts. In the same year, the Orekhovsky Peace Treaty, the first agreement between Novgorod and Sweden, was signed here. In 1612-1702, the fortress was under Swedish rule and was called Noteburg. Peter I recaptured it in 1702 during the Great Northern War, giving it the name Shlisselburg. The fortress has an irregular triangular shape with seven towers (five of which have been preserved), the main one being the Tsar's Tower with its unique curved entrance. Inside, there is a citadel with additional fortifications and a 12-meter moat.

Oreshek is a fortress founded by Novgorod at the source of the Neva, and most famous as a prison that housed political dissidents in the late czarist era. From Petersburg you can reach it by train to Petrokrepost, or by bus to Schlisselburg. Train is faster, but the Schlisselburg side is more exciting. You need to take a ferry to the island, where you can explore the island individually, with an audio guide, or a tour. Much of it is in ruins, but a few buildings have been restored. There is a cafe and a toilet on the premises. Two to three hours should be plenty to see all there is to see. The nature is particularly stunning here, so consider making some time to hire a boat, go for a swim, or just walk the coast.

They say it's not a good spot for swimming but it has a very good view for visiting.

The fortress is quite nice and will have more renovation in the future. The rest of the town has lost a lot during the WWII.

Excellent day out. The fortress is filled with history. A lot to learn.

You may want to not listen to the guides. Ghosts of the place whisper in their ears.

I would recommend visiting Oreshek if you're nearby. It is located on an island on Lake Ladoga. You can reach the island by boat in just about a few minutes + waiting time for departure. Tickets for boat are sold separately from fortress entrance tickets, which is a museum today.

They say it's not a good spot for swimming but it has a very good view for visiting.

The fortress is quite nice and will have more renovation in the future. The rest of the town has lost a lot during the WWII.

Excellent day out. The fortress is filled with history. A lot to learn.

You may want to not listen to the guides. Ghosts of the place whisper in their ears.

I would recommend visiting Oreshek if you're nearby. It is located on an island on Lake Ladoga. You can reach the island by boat in just about a few minutes + waiting time for departure. Tickets for boat are sold separately from fortress entrance tickets, which is a museum today.

A very beautiful and big park where one could walk and contemplate beauty for hours. There are lots of trees that look like a wild forest but it is obvious that they are also looked after. I did not go into the museums so can't say about them.

Beautiful palace not far from the more touristy Tsarskoye Selo. Beautiful, intimate rooms in a fabulous park setting. The interiors are exquisite. No crowds when I visited. I recommend paying extra to see the private apartments of the dowager empress

Really great place to walk around. Visited in winter. Beautiful snow and icy Park. Probably even better in summer

A park that my family loves to walk during the summer. Our trip out this weekend was a bit early in the season and the weather was a bit chilly. During the summer that gardens are full or different kinds of flowers. There are even parts of the park where a person can go and lay out in the grass, a true luxury in Russia. Be sure and bring some nuts as there are many hungry squirrels who will gladly come get them out of your hand. This is a lot of fun for kids.

Great park to work around any time of the day! I believe it’s free after 5pm!

Worth to visit. Interesting short tour around private garden. Beautiful place.

Beautiful palace heir to the throne of the Russian Empire. A small palace and a large park. Everything is very beautiful.

Everything was ok except for the exorbitant price for a ticket for a foreigner. 2500 rubles for a 30 minute tour with minimal English. In Europe we have the same prices for everyone.

I come back after 8 years. The exterior and the park are really amazing, a must see. About the interior tour, re her living zone, which I did for the first time, well, I am not sure is something to be seen... First of all you will discover that almost everything was bombed or robbed during second world war, so you are looking to a replica, which is taking away all the magic from it since......since let us be honest, interiors are unreal ugly. Too much of everthing without real balance and well thought details. And when you see it as a replica, you start to think 💬 well why to remake such a kitsch interior and not even to the end (not all the rooms have been restored until the end ). Also, the guide we had was so boring, lots of details repeating over and over... In general, the visit to the interior I won't recommend it, you won't loose anything. The park yes, that is a piece of art to be seen.

Beautiful. Grand. Bold. The palace is stunning and both the Catherine and Alexander parks are beautiful. I really want to visit the Alexander Palace when it opens after renovations. Which may take years sadly. The Amber Room is amazing. The post war photos of the destruction are sobering

Exhilarating experience to see so much grandeur and beauty! The interiors of Catherine's Palace are truly awe-inspiring, especially the Amber Room. Entry into the Palace always involves a longish queue, but it's worth it. If you have the stamina, don't miss out the stunning Palace gardens either. As splendid as the Palace interiors.

A great place just a train or a bus ride from St. Petersburg. The park is beautiful and the palace tour is nice. Be prepared to wait in line for about 30 minutes to an hour since there are a lot of visitors and due to the capacity, only certain number are allowed every 15 minutes.

Beautifully restored back to almost original greatness. Displays the crazy wealth of the Romanovs. Also a nice example of the Russian taste for gold and ornaments. Best to visit off season to avoid the largest hordes of tourists.

A don't miss site in St Petersburg. Tickets go on sale 30 days prior, don't miss the date, they will be sold out 29 days prior (the tixs for Catherine Palace). You can still get a tix via a long line or by joining a tour. All of the rooms are beautiful but the amber room alone is worth the visit.

Amazing park, need at least two hours to walk around!

Catherine Palace, it is a park in Tsarskaya Village, Russia, located 25 km southeast of St. Petersburg. Catherine Park gets its name from Catherine Palace, and the park is divided into two parts: the Garden and the English Garden. When you come to St. Petersburg, you should take a stroll and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the area

The park itself is nice, but the palace is super underwhelming inaccessible. You have to buy ticket for each small section of the palace, and it’s quite pricey as well. In addition, there is absolute no English translation, no English audio or tour guide, and the staff does not speak any English at all as well.

There are a lot of beautiful places around the world where you will feel happy and relaxed yourself. And Catherine Park is definitely one of those places. I had so warm walk with my soulmate in the amazing place with incredible views just everywhere you turn your head. The perennial trees, ponds, beautiful buildings with a long history. So precious moments of life.🤍

My family's favorite park grounds. We walk the grounds at least once a year. There are lots of fun paths for kids to explore. If you bring nuts you can also sometimes feed squirrels or chickadees. Don't forget to walk behind the palace to the left and explore some lovely gardens with statues there.

Amazing gardens. There are several pavilion to visit and they all have wildly different styles, which makes it fun. Some are available to visit with a ticket (like the amazing Cold Baths, where the Agathe Rooms are located) and some can be visited for free (like the Chinese style pavilion and the Italian Style pavilion with authentic roman mosaics from the 2nd century) Just strolling around is nice, and they are more chilled than Petergof, with lots of locals enjoying the scene.

A dream of a spacious garden. The beautiful Baroque palaces are surrounded by fantastic French and English gardens. There are also various very interesting outbuildings. You have to search in Europe for a long time to find comparable.

Landscapes are awesome especially in autumn. But security of the museum was rude and we wasn't allowed to come even inside the yard, because of paid entrance and closed boxoffice.

A very small museum, for 10-20 minutes. It's mentioned that paypass can be used to pay for tickets, but they don't have it in fact.

Priory Palace is an original palace in Gatchina (Гатчина), Russia. It was built in 1799 by the architect N. A. Lvov on the shore of the Black Lake (Chyornoye ozero / Чёрное озеро). Constructed for the Russian Grand Priory of the Order of St John, it was presented to the Order by a decree of Paul I of Russia dated August 23, 1799.

Nice small museum, devoted to the history of Order of Malta in Russia and to the palace itself

A wonderful place in Gatchina

Little castle. Very impressive in wintertime. Good acoustic inside.

Wow!!!😱

So impressive with this palace. I went there on autumn 2017. Outside in the morning was so quiet and no signs for tourists where is entrance but Russian pointed over there. Ticket price is 350 rubles for adults. There are 3 floor and 1 basement. Museum keepers was so nice and always try to tell history of this place even my Russian skill is fair.

An interesting tour of the main restored halls and the gardens in the courtyard, many exhibits are replicas (which is mentioned by the tour guide), the halls themselves have standard interiors with luxury and lots of furniture. The area in front of the palace is covered with granite chips with a monument to Paul I. In the courtyard there is a monument to Alexander III with a very interesting design, it is worth a look. It's better to come half an hour before the tour to have time to see the armory and basement, since the second part of the tour involves leaving the museum without the possibility of returning.

The huge palace of Emperor Paul just started to turn into a museum. For a long time there was a naval school. Now museums are much smaller than a quarter of the building, but restoration work is underway. A special impression is left by the private chambers and the office of Emperor Alexander 3. Small rooms and low ceilings contrast sharply with the luxury of the rest of the building.

The Great Gatchina Palace is a palace in Gatchina, Leningrad Oblast, Russia. It was built from 1766 to 1781 by Antonio Rinaldi for Count Grigori Grigoryevich Orlov, who was a favourite of Catherine the Great, in Gatchina, a suburb of the royal capital Saint Petersburg. The Gatchina Palace combines classical architecture and themes of a medieval castle with ornate interiors typical of Russian classicism, located on a hill in central Gatchina next to Lake Serebryany. The Gatchina Palace became one of the favourite residences of the Russian Imperial Family, and during the 19th century was an important site of Russian politics. Since the February Revolution in 1917 it has been a museum and public park, and received UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1990.

Empress gave this palace to her lover who killed her husband, the emperor. When lover died she gave the palace to her son, who hated her and loved his killed Emperor father. Son became the emperor himself and build a brand new palace-castle where he was killed by his men. Do you still need the GoT if you have real history of Russian Empire?

A very beautiful place. A bit underrated. Tourists skip this destination.

Great place to visit place was under construction so we couldnt see everything but what we see was enough.

(Translated by Google) The park is beautiful. We spent several hours in it, not the first time, and not the last. We live nearby. But! I was surprised by the uncut, even neglected lawn, with bald patches of dandelions. I’m not talking about the lawn throughout the park, but where it usually was ideally. The park is not friendly to visitors. Entrance is 150 rubles and there are also paid toilets. 30 rubles each. The toilets themselves are not ideal; there is not much water in the tap or paper to wipe your hands. In a cafe where I bought tea and coffee several times, the saleswoman literally told everyone, why are there so many of you... And this was on Saturday, when in reality there were not many people. Ducks, swans, carps, pigeons and mice are beautiful. (Original) Парк красивый. Мы провели несколько часов в нем и не первый раз, да и не последний. Живём недалеко. Но! Удивил нестриженный, даже запущенный газон, с проплешинами одуванчиков. Я не про газон во всем парке, а там, где он обычно был в идеале. Парк недружелюбен к посетителям. Вход 150р и ещё платные туалеты. По 30 рублей. Сами по себе теалеты не идеальны, нет толком воды в кране и бумаги, чтоб руки вытереть. В кафе, где я несколько раз покупала чай и кофе продавщица каждому буквально говорила, да что ж вас так много то... И это в субботу, когда реально, немного людей было. Уточки, лебедь, карпы, голуби и мышки прекрасны.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful, cozy park. You can take a boat ride on the lake. (Original) Красивый, уютный парк. Можно прокатиться на лодке по озеру.

(Translated by Google) The park is beautiful, but when we were there, many locations were under reconstruction. We wanted to visit the palace, but the website says verbatim - You can take an excursion to the palace without excursion service 👀👀👀. And so, everything is clean, cozy, I really liked the grass clearing and the daffodils blooming in the bushes). (Original) Парк красивый, но когда были мы, много локаций были на реконструкции. Хотели посетить дворец, но на сайте написано дословно - Экскурсию во дворец можно взять без экскурсионного обслуживания 👀👀👀. А так, всё чисто, уютно,очень понравилась поляна из травы и кустиками цветут нарциссы).

(Translated by Google) We had a great walk!) I recommend visiting. It's inexpensive to walk around without excursions. But we passed as families with many children for free. Take a bunch of photos on social networks!👍 (Original) Супер погуляли!) Советую посетить. Недорого стоит прогуляться без экскурсий. Но мы прошли как многодетные бесплатно. Нафоткаетесь в соцсети кучу фоток!👍

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, large, well-kept park. Admission is free. (Original) Красивый, большой, ухоженный парк. Вход бесплатный.

(Translated by Google) very beautiful park. It’s a pity that it is being restored slowly. Much was destroyed during the war. I think this is the most beautiful park in our suburbs. (Original) очень красивый парк.жаль что его медленно реставрируют. многое разрушно было еще во время войны. мне кажется это самый красивый парк в наших пригородах.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful, amazing park! The Palace Park is the oldest among the Gatchina parks / Prioratsky, Zverinets, Sylvia /. The area is 143 hectares. The main building of the park is the Grand Gatchina Palace. The park does not have the fountain ensembles that Peterhof is rich in, there is no luxurious decoration that amazes in the Chinese Palace of Lomonosov, there is no abundance of pavilions and sculptures like in Pushkin and Pavlovsky parks. Gatchina Park has a special charm - it is the most picturesque! The landscape with many lakes is one of the best achievements of Russian landscape art of the second half of the 18th century. The park is located on the banks of the White and Silver Lakes. Two periods of creation of the park - Orlovsky and Pavlovsky. In the Orlovsky period, in addition to Russian conifers, oaks, maples, larches, vases, willows, ash trees and lindens were planted. The Eagle Column, the Chesme Obelisk, the Echo Grotto and the Octagonal Well for the Underground Spring near the Silver Lake were erected according to the design of the architect A. Rinaldi. During the Pavlovsk period, the Upper and Lower Dutch Gardens, the Botanical Garden and the Private Garden were created. The Stone Bastions, the Forest and Large Palace Greenhouses, the Eagle Pavilion, terraces and stairs, piers, several bridges and gates, the Birch House portal, the Constable Obelisk and the square with parameters and bastions were erected according to the design of the architect V. Brenna. At the end of the 18th century, the talented Russian architect N. Lvov built the Birch House, the Amphitheater, the Bridge - a ruin with cascades, the Priory Palace from rammed earth. (Original) Замечательный удивительный парк! Дворцовый парк является самым старейшим среди гатчинских парков / Приоратский, Зверинец, Сильвия/. Площадь 143 гектара. Главное сооружение парка - Большой Гатчинский Дворец. В парке нет ансамблей фонтанов, которыми богат Петродворец, нет роскошного убранства, поражающего в Китайском дворце Ломоносова, нет обилия павильонов и скульптур как в парках Пушкина и Павловском. Парк Гатчины отличает особое очарование - он самый живописный! Пейзаж со множеством озёр относится к лучшим достижениям русского ландшафтного искусства второй половины XVIII века. Парк расположен на берегах Белого и Серебряного озёр. Два периода создания парка - Орловский и Павловский. В Орловский период кроме русских хвойных пород были высажены дубы, клёны, лиственницы, вазы, ивы, ясени и липы. Установлены по проекту архитектора А.Ринальди Колонна Орла, Чесменский обелиск, Грот Эхо и Восьмигранный колодец для подземного ключа рядом с Серебряным озером. В Павловский период были созданы Верхний и Нижний Голландский сад, Ботанический и Собственный сад. Возведены по проекту архитектора В.Бренны Каменные бастионы, Лесная и Большая дворцовые оранжереи, Павильон Орла, террасы и лестницы, пристани, несколько мостов и ворот, портал Березового домика, обелиск Коннетабль и площадь с параметрами и бастионами. В конце XVIII века талантливый русский архитектор Н.Львов построил Березовый домик, Амфитеатр, Мост - руину с каскадами, Приоратский дворец из утрамбованной земли.

(Translated by Google) September 2023. The estate itself is under restoration, closed with fences. The park is nothing special except for the red karst caves. Some of them are used for religious purposes for some reason: there are icons, fonts, booths for prayer, etc. Moreover, everything was done cheaply and ugly. It is perceived as visual garbage. The park has a ring path, dirt surface, one bench, and a memorial cross. And many, many signs stating that you need to leave the park during a hurricane) Nothing more. There is parking and a toilet. There is no bicycle parking, no points of sale for food/drinks, no recreation areas, no children's or sports areas, no swings, etc. no, there are no wifi zones or charging gadgets. I hope that after restoration this object will be much more interesting and spectacular than it is now. (Original) Сентябрь 2023. Сама усадьба на реставрации, закрыта заборами. Парк не представляет из себя ничего особенного, кроме красных карстовых пещер. Часть из них почему-то используется в религиозных целях: стоят иконки, купели, кабинки для молитвы и т.д. Причем, сделано все дёшево и некрасиво. Воспринимается как визуальный мусор. В парке кольцевая дорожка, грунтовое покрытие, одна скамейка, памятный крест. И много-много табличек о том, что нужно покинуть парк во время урагана) Больше ничего. Есть парковка, туалет. Велопарковки нет, точек продажи еды/напитков нет, мест отдыха нет, детских и спортивных зон, качелей и т.д. нет, зон wifi и зарядки гаджетов нет. Надеюсь, после реставрации этот объект будет куда более интересен и зрелищнее, чем сейчас.

(Translated by Google) Along the Oredezh River there are many springs with amazingly tasty water. Passing through Devonian sandstones, the water from the springs is saturated with radon and acquires healing properties. One of them is located in the park of the Nabokov estate in Rozhdestveno. (Original) Вдоль по течению реки Оредеж есть множество источников с удивительно вкусной водой. Проходя сквозь девонские песчаники, вода из родников насыщается радоном и приобретает лечебные свойства. Один из них расположен в парке усадьбы Набоковых в Рождествено.

(Translated by Google) I have long dreamed of visiting where, on the forest alley leading from the Rozhdestvenskaya estate to the Vyrskaya manor, the owner of the Batovo estate, Vladimir Dmitrievich Nabokov, the future leader of the cadet party, and the daughter of the owner of the estate, I.V., met during a bicycle ride. Rukavishnikova - Elena Ivanovna. And although V.V. himself I haven’t been to this house (or haven’t been there often), but the spirit of these alleys and especially the bike ride is present in “Mashenka” like childhood, like the Motherland (Original) Давно мечтал побывать там, где на лесной аллее, ведущей от Рождественской усадьбы к Вырской мызе, во время велосипедной прогулки познакомились владелец усадьбы Батово Владимир Дмитриевич Набоков - будущий лидер партии кадетов, и дочь владельца усадьбы И.В. Рукавишникова - Елена Ивановна. И хотя сам В.В. не был в этом доме (или бывал не часто) , но дух этих аллей и особенно велосипедная прогулка присутствует в "Машеньке" как детство, как Родина

(Translated by Google) I read the reviews and impressions of people who were there and decided to go. The location is good, the estate itself is made of wood and is in poor condition, so it is closed to visitors. The park itself is old, but not as well maintained as it should really be. There is a straight alley and centuries-old trees, yes, they are beautiful and powerful, but everything is overgrown with young trees and bushes, so that one would like to say that this is not a park, but a dense, impenetrable forest. I really liked the cave and springs. Nature truly created a miracle, very fabulously beautiful. I won’t go there for walks with my family and children. (Original) Почитал отзывы и впечатления людей, кто там был, решил съездить. Место хорошее, сама усадьба деревянная и находится в плачевном состоянии, соответственно для посетителей закрыта. Сам парк старый, но и не ухожен как должно быть на самом деле. Прямая аллея и вековые деревья, да красивые и могущественные это так, но всё заросло молодыми деревьями и кустарниками, что хочется сказать что это не парк, а дремучий непроходимый лес. Пещера и родники мне очень понравились. Природа сотворила действительно чудо, очень сказочно красиво. Для прогулок с семьёй и детьми, я туда не поеду.

(Translated by Google) I would like to share my impressions of visiting the estate museum in Rozhdestveno. Well, what can I say, the estate is in tolerable condition, there are not as many exhibits as we would like, and there is no original furniture; you can walk around the museum in 15 minutes. Entrance ticket is 200 rubles, check opening hours on the museum website. What impressed me the most was the kitchen) and the family history. The building requires restoration, the location is convenient, it stands on a hill, the view is 100%!!! (Original) Хочется поделиться впечатлениями от посещения музея усадьбы в Рождествено. Ну что сказать, усадьба в сносном состоянии, экспонатов не так много, как хотелось бы, да и подлинной мебели нет, музей можно обойти за 15 минут. Входной билет 200 р, часы работы уточняйте на сайте музея. Больше всего впечатлила кухня) ну и история семьи. Здание требует реставрации, расположение удобное, стоит на возвышенности, вид на все 100%!!!

(Translated by Google) Finally, finally, we got ready and got to Rozhdestveno. You can leave your car in the parking lot (next to the estate) And the estate itself is located on a hill, and offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area. The estate is surrounded by a park. The central alley is decorated with centuries-old alleys and oak trees. In the depths of the park there are karst red-colored caves of natural origin. Springs gush out of the rocks. One of the springs is considered holy. They say the spring has healing properties (helps with eye diseases). We, of course, washed ourselves with water from the spring, and even drank a little, albeit from the palm of our hand. But people filled bottles with water. There is even a plunge pool that you can take a dip in (next to the locker room). We climbed through the caves. The weather was gorgeous, the sun was shining. The sky was absolutely incredible. Therefore, first we walked around the park, and then we went to the estate. The Nabokov-Rukavishnikov estate (V. Nabokov’s mother, née Rukovishnikov). The museum recreates the atmosphere of a typical Russian noble estate of the early 20th century. Beautiful living room, living rooms. We restored the kitchen with various utensils in the basement. The estate displays various photos from Nabokov’s albums, household items from the early 20th century, etc. The trip turned out to be interesting and beautiful. But the estate will soon be closed for restoration for three years. (Original) Наконец- то, наконец- то мы собрались и добрались в Рождествено. Машину можно оставить на парковке ( рядом с усадьбой) А сама усадьба располагается на холме, и откуда открывается прекрасный вид на окрестности. Усадьбу окружает парк. Центральную аллею украшают вековые аллеи и дубы. В глубине парка- карстовые красноцветные пещеры естественного происхождения. Источники бьют из скал. Один из источников считается святым. Говорят источник обладает целебными свойствами ( помогает при болезни глаз). Мы, конечно, умылись водой из источника, даже немного попили, правда, из ладошки. Но народ набирал воду в бутылки. Даже есть купель, в которую можно окунуться( рядом раздевалка). Мы Полазили по пещерам. Погода была шикарной, светило солнце. Небо было просто невероятным. Поэтому сначала гуляли по парку, а потом уже пошли в усадьбу. Усадьба Набоковых- Рукавишниковых ( Мама В. Набокова- урожденная Руковишникова). В музее воссоздана обстановка типичной русской дворянской усадьбы начала 20 века. Красивая гостиная, комнаты для проживания. Восстановили в подвальном помещении кухню с различной утварью. В усадьбе представлены различные фото из альбомов Набокова, предметы быта начала 20 века и др. Интересной и красивой оказалась поездка. Но усадьбу скоро закроют на реставрацию на три года.

(Translated by Google) There are not enough exhibits, but I know that the estate will soon be closed for restoration, so we are waiting for the collection to be replenished. Due to the pandemic, the second floor is closed. A magnificent park, with centuries-old trees, as well as a spring (people come here with cans) and a natural cave. Exhibitions, lectures, etc. are also held inside the wooden palace. There is parking. (Original) Маловато экспонатов, но знаю, что скоро имение закроется на реставрацию, так что ждём пополнения коллекции. В силу пандемии закрыт второй этаж. Великолепный парк, с вековыми деревьями, а также источник( здесь люди с канистрами приезжают) и естественная пещера. Ещё внутри деревянного дворца проходят выставки , лекции и тп. Парковка есть.

Interesting historical place with big Church inside. Some controversial modern improvements don't prevent from enjoying of whole view. It was interesting to explore walls and just walk in courtyard. Entrance is free of charge.

Beautiful place the best for nice walk there

Really nice to see the history and simplicity of the times. Nice place to start historical tours to see the difference between influence from Moscow through the centuries.

Great historic place!

I highly recommend visit to Pskov Kremlin (Krom). Make sure to wear trousers as opposed to shorts if you wish to visit the Trinity Church (the main Cathedral in Krom).

🤎😻

Historically this was a very important place, today is very well keep and the orthodox church is beautiful

A very serene place, has alot of cobble stones so you need good shoes.A historical place but information only in the Russian language.The church is worth visiting

Cathedral of Saint Trinity was built in 1682-1699. It was the fifth church at that place in Kremlin of Pskov. First church existed here already in X century. Existing Kremlin of Pskov was built between 1337 and 1424. Although first Fortress existed here already in IX century. Admission to Kremlin is free but you will have to buy a ticket is if you are going to visit the museum. Highly recommended for yours visit. This is splendid monument of Russian medieval culture and architecture.

Excellent cathedral.

Nicely place

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, I couldn't appreciate the full beauty of this cathedral, as the building is completely covered in scaffolding and fenced off. But the Kremlin grounds are beautiful. (Original) К сожалению всю красоту данного собора не удалось оценить, так как здание все в лесах и огорожено. Но территория кремля прекрасна.

(Translated by Google) The cathedral was built in 1682-1699 and is the main building of the Kremlin. This is the fourth building of the cathedral, built on the site of earlier buildings of the X-XIV centuries. It is famous for its iconostasis, one of the tallest in Russia - the 42-meter iconostasis contains 7 rows of icons. The cathedral contains an icon dedicated to the defense of Pskov from the troops of Stefan Batory in 1581 and returned by Germany in 2001, a silver shrine with the relics of three Pskov saints who saved the city from the wrath of Ivan the Terrible. In 1935 it was closed and used as an anti-religious museum. Worship services were resumed during the German occupation and have not been suspended since then. (Original) Собор построен в 1682-1699 годах, и является главным его строением Кремля. Это четвертое по счету здание собора, построенное на месте более ранних строений X-XIV веков. Знаменит своим иконостасом, одним из самых высоких в России - в 42-метровый иконостас вмещено 7 рядов икон. В соборе находится икона посвященная обороне Пскова от войск Стефана Батория в 1581 году и возвращенная Германией в 2001 году, серебряная рака с мощами трех псковских святых спасших город от гнева Иоанна Грозного. В 1935 г. Был закрыт и использовался как антирелигиозный музей. Богослужения были возобновлены во время немецкой оккупации и с тех пор уже не приостанавливались.

(Translated by Google) The cathedral was built in 1699. As the guide said, it has one of the largest iconostases in Russia. I think it has 7 rows. There is a similarly large one in Ryazan and somewhere else. The iconostasis was made by icon painters from the Moscow Armory. The cathedral contains an icon dedicated to the defense of Pskov from the troops of Stefan Batory in 1581. The famous icon was returned to us by the Germans in 2001. There are supports around the building to ensure the stability of the temple. They promise to close it for restoration. (Original) Собор построен в 1699 году. Как сказала экскурсовод, в нем один из самых больших иконостасов в России. По-моему 7 рядов. Такой большой есть в Рязани и еще где-то. Иконостас выполняли иконописцы Оружейной палаты Москвы. В соборе находится икона посвященная обороне Пскова от войск Стефана Батория в 1581 году. Знаменитая икона, которая была возвращена нам немцами в 2001 году. Вокруг здания храма приделаны подпорки для устойчивости храма. Обещают закрыть на реставрацию.

(Translated by Google) Simply a wonderful historical building. This is the only chain bridge from the mid-19th century that has survived in Russia. Turned bolts, chains, and rollers create the grandiose architecture of the bridge and the corresponding atmosphere. (Original) Просто замечательное историческое сооружение. Это единственный цепной мост середины XIX века, сохранившийся на территории России. Точёные болты, цепи, ролики создают грандиозную архитектуру моста и соответствующую атмосферу.

(Translated by Google) A unique monument of construction technology, one of the best examples of transport bridge architecture, the only operating chain bridges of the 19th century in Russia. The bridges are not only unique, but also very beautiful. And the location, an island on the Velikaya River, is very scenic. We didn't regret coming to see it. (Original) Уникальный памятник строительной техники, один из лучших образцов архитектуры транспортных мостов, единственные в России действующие цепные мосты XIX в. Мосты не только уникальны, но и очень красивы. И место нахождения , остров на реке Великой, очень видовое. Мы не пожалели, что заехали посмотреть.

(Translated by Google) Chain bridges are good! Since 1853 they have brought joy to everyone who has walked along them. The construction is monumental! I’m afraid to imagine how much the chain weighs, and how much the structure itself weighs! It's nice that their restoration is now underway. Granite steps, curbs - it will be very beautiful! (Original) Цепные мосты хороши! С 1853 они радуют всех, кто по ним прошел. Конструкция монументальная! Боюсь представить, сколько весит цепь, а сколько сама конструкция! Приятно, что сейчас идёт их реставрация. Гранитные ступени, бордюры - будет очень красиво!

(Translated by Google) We often drove along the highway past the Island. I've been wanting to see it for a long time. And for good reason. A very beautiful place - the only chain bridges in Russia across the Velikaya River. Worth a stop. And the city itself is very cozy. (Original) Часто проезжали по трассе мимо Острова. Давно хотелось посмотреть. И вот не зря. Очень красивое место - единственные в России цепные мосты через реку Великая. Стоит заехать. Да и сам город очень уютный.

(Translated by Google) One of the significant attractions in the city of Ostrov is the Chain Bridges across the Velikaya River, 19th century. Powerful building. A historical place of both the city and the country. After visiting the city, you will definitely walk along the Chain Bridges. Good luck everyone. (Original) Одна из значимых достопримечательностей в г.Остров – Цепные мосты через реку Великая, XIX века. Мощное сооружение. Историческое место и города, и Страны. Посетив город, Вы обязательно пройдётесь и по Цепным мостам. Всем удачи.

(Translated by Google) The chain bridge in Ostrov became even more interesting and beautiful after its restoration. It has a special charm in the dark, because... has additional lighting. (Original) Цепной мост в Острове стал ещё интереснее и красивее после его реставрации. Особенное очарование он имеет в тёмное время суток, т.к. имеет дополнительную подсветку.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful and majestic bridges. Right now they are under renovation. Nothing can be done; after all, repairs are also needed. Bridges over the great river. Nearby there is a park and churches. Now wooden bridges have been made parallel to the bridges. By the way, they made it possible to lift both a bicycle and a stroller. That is, there are special walkways for them and steps. 👍 (Original) Очень красивые и величественные мосты. Сейчас правда они на ремонте. Ничего не поделаешь, все таки и ремонт нужен тоже. Мосты над рекой великой. Рядом парк, церкви. Сейчас параллельно мостам сделали деревянные мосты. Сделали кстати с возможностью поднять и велосипед и коляску. Т. е есть специальные мостки для них ну и ступеньки. 👍

Ancient stone walls, scenic hilltop views, and a serene atmosphere make it unforgettable. Rich in Russian heritage, perfect for history buffs and nature lovers. Well-preserved and peaceful, a must-visit gem near Pskov! Highly recommend exploring.

It's one of Izborsk fortress must visit attractions.

Turku castle better, but still interesting place.

Very pleasant (when sunny!)

Always a quiet, peaceful place where people, history, and nature mingle. Spring water you actually don't fear to drink.

If you like Russia, this is a must. Fine and authentic restoration, have stayed there for more days and i come back every year.

I love this place since the first time for its atmospheric beauty, but would like to see more historical expositions

Is not the biggest or the best waterfall I've ever visited but it is clean and cold. Good drinking water too.

(Translated by Google) An amazingly beautiful place where the Slovenskie Klyuchi flow into Gorodishchenskoye Lake. There are many swans and ducks on the lake, feeding them is a pleasure. (Original) Удивительно красивое место, где Словенские ключи впадают в Городищенское озеро. на озере множество лебедей и уток, кормление которых приносит удовольствие.

(Translated by Google) The place is located very close to the fortress. The path leads down, so you need to be careful not to slip. There is a crush on the site. Lots of people, everyone wants to take a photo against the backdrop of the water pipes. The streams of springs merge into a single stream and flow into the lake. You can also watch swans on the lake. Beauty. But there are so many people that it is simply impossible to enjoy the place normally. (Original) Место находится совсем недалеко от крепости. Тропа ведёт вниз, так что нужно быть аккуратным, чтобы не подскользнуться. На площадке толкотня. Много людей, все хотят сфоткаться на фоне водопроводов. Потоки ключей сливаются в единый поток и утекают в озеро. Тут же на озере можно наблюдать лебедей. Красота. Но народу настолько много, что нормально насладиться местом просто невозможно..

(Translated by Google) Very impressive. Tasty water from springs. The nearby Gorodishchenskoye Lake with almost tame swans is especially beautiful. They are not afraid of people and swim very close. You can almost hand feed (Original) Очень впечатляет. Вкусная вода из источников. Особенно красиво находящееся рядом Городищенское озеро с почти ручными лебедями. Они не боятся людей и подплывают близко-близко. Можно, чуть ли не с руки покормить

(Translated by Google) A wonderful, amazing place, with an extraordinary atmosphere, where you can feel the presence of the Slavic gods! I advise everyone to visit this place and stock up on water containers. Children will be delighted by the presence of swans in the lake. About 1-2 kilometers away there is the Truvorovo settlement. (Original) Прекрасное, удивительное место, с необыкновенной атмосферой, где чувствуется присутствие славянских богов! Всем советую посетить это место и запастись тарой для воды. Детей порадует присутствие в озере лебедей. Примерно в 1-2 километрах есть Труворово городище.

(Translated by Google) Excellent place, quite steep descent to the springs, so you need comfortable shoes with non-slip soles. You can buy a water bottle along the way from souvenir stalls. You can feed swans and ducks, but you just need to stock up on food in advance. (Original) Отличное место, достаточно крутой спуск к ключам, поэтому нужна удобная обувь с нескользящей подошвой. Бутылку для воды можно купить по дороге у сувенирных лоточков. Можно покормить лебедей и уток, только нужно запастись кормом заранее.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place, you can only reach it on foot (there is no access by car). Among the amenities: a long gentle slope from the handrail, several benches (directly at the source), in some places wooden flooring, one changing room (for those who suddenly decided to swim in the lake) and a panton area on the shore of the lake (by the way, a beautiful view) and in general everything is very good picturesque))) I recommend visiting (Original) Красивое место, дойти можно только пешком (подъезда на машине нет). Из удобств: длинный пологий спуск с поручни, несколько лавочек (непосредственно у источника) в некоторых местах деревянные настил, одна передевалка (для тех кто решил вдруг искупаться в озере) и площадка пантон на берегу озера (кстати красивый вид) ну и вообще все весьма живописно))) рекомендую к посещению

Amazing place, even if some churches were closed

If you're a religious person or a big fan of nature, than you will probably like this place. If not, I don't think, you're going to be impressed. The walls of the fortress are ancient and massive. You can walk near them and enjoy the atmosphere. The church is yet small and not really beautiful. When I was here the main church was closed for cleaning.

Very colourful and beautiful monastery

A beautiful and holy place where there are burried a lot of Saint people. The monaster is very old but in good shape. You can visit the caves from sand where monks are burried.

The place to be. Please touch base with the Visitor Service a day or two in advance, if you are planning to visit the caves. Hierodeacon Lazarus (Lazar) is the man in charge.

Really ancient and historic place, go and see and you will find a fantastic pittoresk monastir.

Probably the only place in Russia that managed to stay open under all political regimes. Despite many attempts to shut it down.
