The wrath of Kostroma is the fact that many have heard about her, but not many have seen. This city, founded Yuri Dolgorukha in the twelfth century as a outpost. We stayed here only two days and I sincerely regret that I was not delayed in Kostroma a little longer. I hope my spouse will correct our oversight next year, and now I will tell you about what we have seen in Kostroma.
Holy Trinity Ipatiev Monastery . This male monastery, played a huge role in the history of Russia in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The monastery stands on the place where the waters of the Kostroma River, fall or more correctly, are connected to the waters of the Volga River. The name of the monastery was given, in honor of the Ipatiev Chronicles found in it. The very first mention of this chronicles, is dated one thousand four hundred thirty-second year, but there is an assumption that the monastery itself was based much earlier. For example, there is a version that it was founded by Tatar Murzo Chetom, in one thousand three hundred thirty year. The other version, states that he founded his prince Vasily Yaroslavovich in one thousand two hundred seventy-fifth year. If we speak frankly, it is absolutely not important when it was it founded, they just need to admire.
Kostroma Architectural and Ethnographic and Landscape Museum-Reserve "Kostroma Sloboda" . This museum has become one of the very first Museums of Russia, which is located right in the open sky. Most of the museum is located on the banks of the igumenka river. At the moment, the museum boasts more than one and a half dozens of monuments of the ancient Russian wooden architecture and life. In August two thousand, in August, in the house, in the house where the peasant and the forestmist of Lipatov had once lived, opened the museum dedicated to Russian drinks. Tasting Russian beverages and previously conducted in the Museum-Reserve, but only the truth for group excursions, but now this privilege is available to absolutely all visitors without exception.
Emast Anastasiin Monastery . Up to one thousand eight hundred and sixty-third years, this monastery was male, and then became female. This monastery is known in that the femoodore icon of God's Mother of God is kept in his walls, which is one of the most revered. Before the moment I came to the monastery, she for a long time was part of the house of Romanov. Like many buildings of those times, all the buildings of this monastery were originally made of wood. A little later, he was rebuilt, that is, they replaced the tree onto a stone. I do not think that the monastery after such rearrangements has changed much, because it has a very old one.
Kostroma trading rows . Pearl and city business card. They are located on the central square of the city and have a form somewhat chaotic, because they consist of more than twenty buildings of different style and shapes. Initially, trading ranks were wooden, but such elements like fire, completely destroyed them. Local authorities decided to build trade rows from more reliable material, that is, from bricks. Today, these trading ranks are an architectural monument and history. All the facilities of the trading series are in excellent condition and are perfectly saved. Over the project of a trading series, several architects worked at once - Stasov, Claire, Rootilov, Furses and Metlin. Probably, that is why all the buildings differ outwardly from each other. Walking along this street, you will come straight to the river, where you can relax from the city bustle and admire the magnificent natural beauty. Rows are a very popular destination, not only among tourists and citizens. Here are often organized and shooting historical films.
Church of the Resurrection of Christ on Debre . You can see it right at the entrance to Kostroma. It is located on the banks of the Volga River surrounded by century leigh. The first temple was erected from the tree by order of Prince Vasily in the thirteenth century. Already in the fifteenth century, the facade of the church was formed. Gradually, the church began to figure out the buildings. In general, construction modernization was completed in one thousand six hundred forty-fifth year. Seven years later, the church painted Kostroma artists Vasily Zapokrovsky and Guri Nikitin. Unfortunately, the initial painting we can not see because it hides painted painting of the nineteenth century. In the eastern part of the Church, you can admire the Ekaterininsky chapel, in which the image of the Great Martyr is stored.
Monument to Yuri Dolgorukomu . A very interesting story is associated with the appearance of the monument at this place. Approximately a year before the opening of the monument, Kostroma made a visit to the Patriarch Alexy II. Holy Father arrived in Kostroma not just so, but for a certain purpose, since he brought a capsule with the Earth, which he took in Kiev from the place where the Grand Duke was buried. The result of this visit was the establishment of a stone as the designation of the place to install the monument. There were rumors among citizens, so that there were citizens there, even among journalists there were information about the fact that this stone was peaceful. Now the wonderful stone is no longer in its place, because instead they installed a monument to the Grand Duke. The monument looks like the figure of the prince, who sits on a carved beautiful blue bench, and in his left hand there is a sword. The handle of this sword, marvels the crown, and in the form of its handle made in the form of a cross.
The right hand of the Grand Prince Yuri Dolgoruky, stretched forward in the side where the trading rows and the Volga River are located. Such a gesture, he seems to be talking about where the city is needed. The monument is quite bulky and weighty. Even if it just stands and look at him, then it seems that it weighs not one ton. But it makes no sense to guess about its dimensions, since there are accurate data. The height of the monument is four and a half meters, and its weight is equal to four tons. This is a modern monument, but it must necessarily be seen by historians, because it has very significant reasons for it. Architects who worked on the creation of the monument are knowing their job, as it is not performed in the spirit of modernity, but rather under the old days.
