It's a beautiful countryside.Its the must see places of Suzdal. Take a walk to Kremlin we walked on a frozen lake on our way. We took 60 roubles ticket to roam around the area and took pictures.

On our one day tour of what is termed the Golden Ring out of Moscow which offers three villages each of historical interest. This on in Suzsal is the Museum of Wooden Architecture and Peasant Life which is an open-air museum that offers a fascinating glimpse into traditional Russian village life. It has about 20 Historical Buildings which are very well preserved from the 18th and 19th centuries, including houses, churches, windmills, and barns. These structures were relocated from various villages in the Vladimir Oblast to preserve their historical and cultural significance. The Peasant Life Exhibits showcases the daily life of Russian peasants, with exhibits featuring rustic clothing, dishware, furniture, and tools. We got a good idea of how families lived, worked, and worshipped in the past.

A continuation of our tour of the Golden Rings outside Moscow and into the beautiful and historic Monastery. The Monastery of St. Euthymius is also known as the Saviour Monastery of St. Euthymius. It was founded in 1352 by the monk Yevfimi from Nizhny Novgorod and it served as a fortress to protect the town from attackers. It actually is a complex that includes several notable buildings including the Cathedral of the Transfiguration of the Saviour, a bell tower from the 16th-17th centuries and an Annunciation Church Over-the-gate. it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site being part part of the White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal.

The Intercession (Pokrovsky) Monastery was founded in 1364, but from this initial period, practically nothing was preserved. All that has come down to our days, mainly refers to the first half of the 16th century and a later period, and is associated with dramatic events in the life of the Grand Duke's family – the Moscow prince Basil III. He decided on an unheard violation of church rules – a divorce with his first wife Solomoniya Saburova, who after twenty years of marriage never gave birth to children. She came from an old boyar family of Moscow. During the 1508-1518 Basil III richly equiped the Suzdal Intercession monastery, while seeking a divorce from the church and looking for a future new wife – Pole Elena Glinskaya. In 1625 Solomoniya Saburova was forcibly tonsured into a nun (under the name of Sofia) and exiled to the Intercession Monastery. Since then, the Intercession Monastery has become a place of exile for the disgraced tsarinas and women of noble boyar families. Among its nuns and elders – the daughter and niece of Ivan III, the wife of Prince Vladimir Staritsky – Eupraxia, the wife of Tsarevich Ivan – Evdokia, one of the wives of Ivan the Terrible – Anna Vasilchikova. The last crown princess of the monastery was Evdokia Lopukhina, the wife of Peter I, accused of plotting against the tsar. Here, many aristocratic spiritual prisoners ended their lives. In the monastery were found the burials of representatives of families of Nagies, Gorbaties, Shuiskies and others (more than 20 eminent nuns). In 1934, in the tomb of the Intercession Cathedral, under a small white stone slab (without an inscription), the director of the Suzdal Museum A.D. Varganov had uncovered a children's burial. In the wooden deck, "remnants of semi-decayed silk fabric without bone remains" were found. This burial began to be connected with the rumors that were going on in the 16th century, about the birth at the monastery, allegedly, of Solomoniya's son George, whom she gave to the upbringing to faithful people, having arranged a fictitious burial. In 1650 Solomoniya Saburova was recognized as a saint (Sofia of Suzdal), her tomb, "exuding miracles", attracted pilgrims and enriched the monastery treasury. The monastery received the richest deposits and new landed estates with thousands of serfs. It was visited repeatedly by royalty. The main temple of the monastery and at the same time a tomb for noble nuns was the Intercession (Pokrovsky) Cathedral. It is a majestic three-domed temple in the design of which the decorations of the white-stone Nativity Cathedral of the Suzdal Kremlin were used (arched-columnar belt, lush portals that are clearly visible through the open arcade of the gallery). The interior decoration of the temple was very ascetic: the floor was paved with black ceramic tiles, the walls were not painted. But the magnificent icons and artistic sewing made the interior exquisite. The tented bell tower is connected to the cathedral with the gallery. It is a rare monument of the ancient Russian architecture: its lower two-tiered part, dating back to 1515, was an octagonal pillar-shaped church "under the bells" (i.e. completed with a tier of belfry). The tent of the modern bell tower appeared at the end of the 17th century. The original architecture of the cathedral is repeated in the Holy Gates, built, like other buildings of the monastery, commissioned by Basil III around 1518. It is a four-sided tower with two asymmetrical arched spans over which the gallery and the elegant three-headed gate-church of Annunciation rise. The decorations of the facades of the building resemble carving on wood, giving to its appearance a sincere simplicity and elegance.

Very old church (built 1152) and UNESCO world heritage site. Not too many visitors, yet. Very interesting.

The gate was closed when I visited... for whatever reason.

Super.

Рождественский Собор In English, it is called the Cathedral of the Nativity. This is a historic building that was originally used as a cathedral of Orthodox Catholics. This building is located within the church building complex and other buildings. Located in the city of Suzdal, which can be reached via the city of Vladimir by the city bus for 45 minutes. The rest in the city you can visit this place on foot or use the Yandex online taxi service. Note: To be able to order a taxi online Yandex you can download the application on your cell phone. This place is now a beautiful museum with high art paintings on the walls and ceiling. At a glance from the front of this building looks like an ordinary old building with white paint that sometimes looks dull but beauty lies behind the dull wall. To get inside you have 2 ticket options, just walk around the complex and see the building from the outside yard, including the wooden museum. Or you want to buy an all-access ticket to enter the building. There is also a clean toilet inside the complex but you have to pay to enter and there is also a souvenir shop.

A more recent monastery from 1923, among the other monasteries in Suzdal this is probably the smaller.

(Translated by Google) The Kazan Church is a winter church on the Torgovaya Square in Suzdal next to the Trade Rows, built in 1739. A few tens of meters from it there is a steamy summer Church of the Resurrection, built in 1720. The temple contains the relics of Saints John and Theodore of Suzdal. And according to the assumptions of local historians, the custodian of the Nativity Monastery, Anania Fedorov, who wrote in the 1770s “Historical collection about the God-saved city of Suzhdal”, could have been buried in the building of the Kazan Church. (Original) Казанская церковь — зимняя церковь на Торговой площади Суздаля рядом с Торговыми рядами, построена в 1739 году. В нескольких десятках метров от неё расположена парная летняя Воскресенская церковь, построена в 1720 году. В храме находятся мощи святителей Иоанна и Феодора Суздальских. А по предположениям местных краеведов, в здании Казанской церкви мог быть похоронен ключарь Рождественского монастыря Анания Фёдоров, написавший в 1770-х годах «Историческое собрание о богоспасаемом граде Суждале».

Small monastery but beautiful, worth admiring.

(Translated by Google) An old rural church from the 19th century. The service is held rarely, several times a year. (Original) Старый сельский храм 19 века. Служба проводится редко, несколько раз в год.

An amazing experiance, the Transfiguration Catherdal and 17 bells are increadable.

Didn’t go inside, don’t know if possible. Beautiful red exterior; restoration was very recent.
