The best attractions of Gorokhovets with photos and descriptions

Gorokhovets is located 157 km east of Vladimir on the M7 Volga highway. This small town with a population of just over 14 thousand people amazes with its beauty. It seems that time has stopped here. On Nikolskaya Mountain rises the Holy Trinity Nikolsky Monastery; below, in the suburb, you can see the domes of churches and the spiers of bell towers. Wooden houses are replaced by small stone ones, among them there are even chambers from the 17th century. The Klyazma River slowly flows its waters. There are vast expanses all around.

Sights of Gorokhovets on the map

Gorokhovets is one of the oldest cities in the Vladimir region, which has preserved in a small area 7 luxurious merchant chambers of the 17th century (the fourth place in Russia in terms of the number of surviving civil buildings of this era - more only in Moscow, Pskov and Vyborg), as well as churches, which are luxuriously decorated and the richness of history can rival Vladimir itself - the regional center of the region in which the city is located. On an area of ​​just 13 km2 there are almost two hundred architectural monuments , a quarter of which are of federal cultural significance. Very often, Gorokhovets serves as a location for filming films about pre-revolutionary Russia , and its picturesque landscapes have been attracting artists from all over Russia for more than two hundred years.


Gorokhovets is located on the right bank of the Klyazma on a natural hill - it is not surprising that
the first settlements in this strategic location appeared in the 6th century . Their owners were Finno-Ugric tribes, which by the 10th century were ousted and assimilated by the Slavs, who turned a small fishermen's settlement into a real fortress by the 12th century. Most likely, the permanent settlement was founded in 1168 by Andrei Bogolyubsky (the official date from which the city traces its history) during a campaign against Volga Bulgaria. But the first chronicle mention dates back to 1239 , when Gorokhovets was burned by Tatar-Mongol troops.
The etymology of the name “Gorokhovets” is still controversial among historians. On the one hand, the toponym may go back to the Finno-Ugric dialects - “Horrohoves” translated into Russian means “Village Dormant in the Snow.” But the most common version is that Gorokhovets goes back to the Slavic Gora-khovets (Mountain-grave) - the historical tract was located on modern Yarilina Mountain.

The revival of the city began during the Golden Horde - in addition to the fortress, trade and craft shops appeared. In general, the city was located on the border - first with Volga Bulgaria, then with the Kazan Khanate - and acted not only as an outpost, but also as a customs center for Russian principalities that collected duties from trade caravans. At the end of the 14th century, Gorokhovets became part of the Moscow Principality and also became a religious center for the spread of Christianity to the east . In 1352, the monastery of Basil of Caesarea was founded (subordinate to the Suzdal Spaso-Efimiev Monastery), and later the hermitage of St. George (subordinate to the Trinity-Sergius Lavra).

In 1539, the city experienced an attack by the Kazan Tatars, but quickly recovered - in 1545, Gorokhovets successfully withstood the siege and repelled all attacks of the enemy troops. At the end of the 16th century it became a county town. After the Time of Troubles, Gorokhovets lost its strategic defensive importance, but received a powerful impetus for the development of trade and handicrafts. By the 17th century, the merchant dynasties of the Ershovs, Shumilins, Selins, Sapozhnikovs, Shiryaevs, Sudoplatovs and Kanonnikovs , who became rich in trade along the Klyazma, Oka and Volga, were formed. Distillery and leather craft production is developing, and the city begins to abandon wooden buildings in favor of stone architecture - it is these buildings that have survived to this day and attract thousands of people to the small provincial modern Gorokhovets.

The first industrial enterprise was opened in the city relatively late - in 1892, a plant for the production of metal containers, ships and other metal structures began operating. At this enterprise, of its time , Marfa Posadnitsa was launched , designed by the famous engineer Vladimir Shukhov (he would later become the author of the famous Shukhov Tower in Moscow and the founder of the mesh shell technology in the construction of buildings).

During the years of Soviet power, the city continued its development as a shipbuilding center of the Vladimir region - after the Great Patriotic War it began to produce sea vessels. In addition, Gorokhovets received the largest lifting and transport equipment plant in the region, which produced overhead cranes, conveyors, hoists and other products. In 1970, Gorokhovets was included in the list of historical cities of Russia , which gives the city a powerful impetus in the development of domestic tourism. In 2010, Gorokhovets was included in the list of historical settlements of federal significance, and in 2017 it was included in the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites .

How to get to Gorokhovets

Gorokhovets is located 337 kilometers from Moscow and 82 kilometers from Nizhny Novgorod.
You can get to the city along the M-7 highway (Moscow - Nizhny Novgorod - Kazan). By public transport, you can get to Gorokhovets from Moscow by buses going to Nizhny Novgorod; Departure is from the Shchelkovsky bus station. Travel time is about five hours.

  • Bus tickets to Gorokhovets

Getting there by rail is more problematic and takes longer: trains heading to Nizhny Novgorod depart from the Kursk station, the closest station to Gorokhovets is “Ilyino”, located 25 kilometers from the city (then it’s about 15 minutes by train to Gorokhovets). Travel time to Ilyino is about five hours.

  • We recommend : It is better to combine Gorokhovets with a trip to Nizhny Novgorod.

House of Ershov (Sapozhnikov)


The white stone three-story palace was built in the 1680s by the richest merchant of Gorokhovets, Semyon Ershov.
The architecture of the building, similar to an ancient Russian tower, is considered the most luxurious of those that have survived to this day. Until the 18th century, the house was owned by the Ershov merchants, after which it was sold to the Shiryaev merchants, and in the 1820s the owner became the merchant Sapozhnikov, whose family were the last private owners of the luxurious chambers until 1918, when the premises were nationalized and turned into an apartment building (5 separate premises), one of which was occupied by the heirs of the famous dynasty. For a modern person, the Ershov (Sapozhnikov) house is a unique way to get in touch with the everyday life and interior of merchant life in the 17th century - now the Gorokhovets Historical and Architectural Museum is located in Ershov’s house (opened in 1981). On the first and second floors there is an exhibition introducing visitors to the bedroom and reception hall with a rich interior that only wealthy people could afford. The third floor contains a collection of toys and personal items belonging to various merchant dynasties of Gorokhovets.

Ershov's house was surrounded by a high fence with a three-meter oak gate, which has survived to this day and is the only monument of wooden architecture of the 17th century in the Vladimir region .

Church of John the Baptist

Another exhibition of the Gorokhovets Historical and Architectural Museum is located in the Church of John the Baptist. If the collection of the Sapozhnikov House is mainly dedicated to the life of a wealthy merchant family of the 17th century, then the church branch of the museum tells about the religious life of the city of that time - icons, church utensils, priestly vestments and much more are collected here.

Blagoveshchensky cathedral


The main and largest Orthodox church of Gorokhovets - the Annunciation Cathedral - was built in 1700 with the full financial support of the merchant Ershov, who determined its appearance and decoration. Despite the late construction time, the Annunciation Cathedral is the most “ancient Russian” in architectural terms - a five-domed temple on a rather impressive cubic base, adjoined by a 37-meter bell tower, which has become the new dominant feature of Gorokhovets. Its location was chosen more than successfully for the central religious institution of the city - between the buildings of the Trading Rows and the Gorokhovets City Duma. Until now, the Annunciation Cathedral is the tallest building in the city , which can be seen from almost every point.
In the 1930s, the temple was closed, but was not looted, like many other similar buildings. Today it is a functioning cathedral, which houses the art gallery of the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum-Reserve.

  • Holy Trinity St. Nicholas Monastery


    The Holy Trinity St. Nicholas Monastery is located on Puzhalova Mountain, where the first settlements were found on the territory of Gorokhovets, and where in the 12th century there was the easternmost outpost of the Vladimir-Suzdal Principality.
    The monastery was founded in the 17th century by decree of Tsar Mikhail Romanov and was a small wooden temple, which was soon destroyed by a large fire. New buildings of the monastery were built of stone, and the central Trinity Cathedral was erected in 1681-1689 with donations from the merchant Sapozhnikov. Surprisingly, the main temple of the monastery has survived to this day. In the 1920s The Holy Trinity St. Nicholas Monastery was abolished, and some of the historical buildings were destroyed. An orphanage was located on its territory, and in the Trinity Church there was a warehouse for films and photographic documents. With the collapse of the USSR, the revival of the monastery began (1993), which continues to this day. Pilgrims from all over the Vladimir region and adjacent regions strive to come here to venerate one of the main shrines of the monastery - a particle of the relics of St. Sergius .

    Holy Resurrection Church

    This temple is located at the foot of Puzhalova Mountain, not far from the Holy Trinity St. Nicholas Monastery. The church consists of several volumes of different heights, thanks to which it looks very picturesque - previously it was not one church, but an ensemble of two churches, winter and summer.

    The Church of the Resurrection was built by the Gorokhovets merchant Semyon Ershov for personal use - his house is located next door.

    House of the Shiryaevs


    The most unusual Gorokhovets mansion belonged to the Shiryaev merchants, distinguished by a high level of education and good knowledge of the culture and architecture of Europe. The house, built in the 17th century, in appearance did not stand out in any way from the classic dwellings of wealthy Russians of that era - elements of Russian architecture from the Baroque. But the layout and interior of the house was done in a European style - the enfilade arrangement of rooms was extremely atypical.
    The location of the Shiryaevs' house can also be called atypical - it is adjacent to the wall of the Sretensky Monastery - special thanks for their active contribution to the construction of the monastery and the Kazan Church of Gorokhovets.

    The building has been preserved almost in its original form. The original design had two stone floors and the last one in wood, rebuilt in stone in the 19th century. In 1980, the Shiryaev house underwent a major reconstruction, during which all the lost decorative elements of the facade were returned. Now it belongs to the Sretensky Monastery, but no one will bother you to go to the territory adjacent to the house and get acquainted with the facade of the building.

    Morozov's House


    Gorokhovets is not only about stone mansions of the 17th century, but also magnificent wooden architecture in the Art Nouveau style of the early 20th century . Such monuments include the Morozov House, built at the beginning of the 20th century by the shipowner and merchant Shorin and donated to his son-in-law, the merchant Morozov. The building is a one-story structure of light green color with turrets on the roof and a large number of carvings in the decoration of the facade .
    On a clear sunny day, despite some “fatigue,” Moroz’s house looks like a fairy-tale tower among the majestic stone buildings of Gorokhovets. Currently, the building is used for administrative purposes - a children's library is located on its premises.

    General description[edit]

    Objectively

    Regional center of the Vladimir region on the border with Nizhny Novgorod. 333 km east of Moscow, 150 km from Vladimir. On the river Klyazma. Population – 17 thousand people.

    Subjectively

    Apparently, this is the only place in the country where a merchant city of the 17th century can not be imagined, but seen and photographed. You won’t see such patriarchy anywhere else in Russia!

    People are responsive and hospitable, especially in monasteries. Three monasteries are a lot for such a small town. The labors and patience of modern ascetics fully compensate for the lack of remains of the ascetics of the past and even evidence of them.

    It takes one day to get to know the city of Gorokhovets.

    Bald Mountain

    One of the most mysterious places in Gorokhovets is Bald Mountain. which got its name due to the complete absence of large vegetation in the form of shrubs and trees .
    It rises 100 meters above the Klyazma and offers picturesque views of the river floodplain, water meadows and endless forests surrounding the ancient city. Bald Mountain has attracted the attention of local residents throughout the entire known chronicle history, and the absence of large natural vegetation has given rise to many legends. One of them says that from ancient times this place was used by witches and sorcerers for the Sabbath, after the wild dances and rituals of which not even grass grows. According to another version, for a long time there was a pagan temple on the hill, which caused dark forces to kill all living things on Bald Mountain.

    For a long time there was an opinion that this was a mound - in 1545, near Gorokhovets, the army of the Kazan Khan Amanak was defeated , and he himself died. He was buried with great honors, and each of his warriors brought a handful of earth. There were so many people who wanted to send their ruler on his last journey that they created a man-made hill. But, in the 1920s, as a result of archaeological excavations by O.N. Bader, it was established that Bald Mountain has a natural origin, and the first settlements began to appear here in the first millennium AD. And in the 6th-5th centuries AD there was a site for tribes who did not know metal tools - a large number of artifacts of their culture made of clay and bone have been preserved.

    Sretensky Monastery


    Sretensky Convent was founded by decree of Patriarch Nikon in 1658 and is located on the central square of Gorokhovets opposite the Annunciation Cathedral.
    Initially, all the buildings of the monastery were wooden, but in 1689 stone construction began. The monastery did not have land holdings, and it was supported by charitable donations and through the sale of monastic handicrafts. In 1764, according to the church reform of Catherine II, the Sretensky Monastery was abolished , and the nuns were transferred to the Arzamas Monastery of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. All buildings and premises were transferred to the balance of the city authorities. So, in the 19th century. they housed county government offices, a city prison, wine and salt shops and warehouses. In the 1930s, the ensemble of the Sretensky Monastery was classified as an architectural monument of the highest category, and restoration work began. In 2002, the convent was revived.

    The following architectural monuments are of greatest value today:

    • Sretensky Cathedral built in 1689. Built with donations from merchant Semyon Ershov.
    • Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh, late 17th century.
    • A 35-meter bell tower located above the central entrance to the monastery. Built in 1689.

    Photos of Gorokhovets and my impressions of the city

    Even when you drive into Gorokhovets along the highway, you notice beautiful architectural monuments - houses in a recognizable provincial style, wooden mansions in the Art Nouveau style, the unusual Kazan Church. The city has preserved its traditional layout and ancient buildings.

    Above the city rises the Holy Trinity St. Nicholas Monastery , founded in the 2nd quarter of the 17th century on the top of the St. Nicholas (Puzhalova) Mountain.


    View of the Nikolsky Monastery

    You can drive to Nikolskaya Mountain along a gently sloping asphalt road (Sovetskaya Street), or you can climb up a creaky and seemingly unreliable wooden staircase. As the Chinese say, “The path to the shrine cannot be easy.” I think this is fully true for the St. Nicholas Monastery.

    Staircase to Nikolskaya Mountain

    As you climb the stairs, beautiful views of the city and surrounding area begin to open up.

    Znamensky Diocesan Convent

    On the other bank of the Klyazma you can see the Znamensky Diocesan Convent on Krasnaya Griva, founded at the expense of the merchant Pyotr Lopukhin in 1598, the oldest in Gorokhovets. In fact, it is located a little deeper, far from the water. But there was a flood on Klyazma, the water reached almost to the monastery buildings (its walls were dismantled during Soviet times).

    Behind the blossoming trees you can see the Annunciation Cathedral (1700) with a separate bell tower:

    A little further away you can see the Holy Sretensky Convent , whose Sretensky Cathedral is decorated with very unusual golden-greenish domes:

    Through a telephoto lens you can clearly see that the water of the Klyazma has approached the very walls of the Znamensky Monastery. I can’t even believe that in 2011-2012, the Mobilization-Trophy jeep festivals were held nearby, on dry land.

    The Holy Trinity St. Nicholas Monastery seems to float above Gorokhovets and is visible from afar. This is one of the main dominant features of the city.

    Prishletsov's House


    One of the visiting cards of Gorokhovets and the most elegant historical building of the city is the house of the merchant Prishletsov (chairman of the zemstvo government), built in 1915 in the New Russian architectural style .
    The facade of the building amazes with the richness of its decor and fine woodwork - the platbands are unique works of carpentry from the early 20th century. For the plot of the frames, a grapevine was chosen, closely intertwined with exotic plants, on the branches of which mermaids and strange birds sit. The main entrance to Prishletsov’s house is decorated with a low square-shaped tower, and the roof of the building is covered with tiles and decorated with a spire. The roof of the house is also unusual - thanks to triangular dormer windows and steps rising to the ridge of the roof.

    Address : st. Lenina, 38, Gorokhovets, Vladimir region, 601480

    House of Arts and Crafts (house of M.I. Shorin)


    A large number of civil architectural monuments of the late 19th – early 20th centuries have been preserved in Gorokhovets, but a special place among them is occupied by the house of the shipowner M.I. Shorina. It was built at the beginning of the last century according to the design of the architect Yu.F. Bruni, who managed to combine the “modern” style that was fashionable at that time with the “pseudo-Russian style” loved by many rich Russians .
    The main “highlight” of the house is the graceful turrets in the corners and the smooth lines of window frames with fancy glazing. Today, in Shorin’s “fairy-tale mansion” there is a House of Arts and Crafts , opened here in 1994. Visitors can plunge into the life and culture of Gorokhovo residents, learn the basics of popular crafts and try to make a real souvenir with their own hands! There are also regular master classes on folk arts and crafts, and regular creative clubs for children and adults.

    Singer Lake

    The most favorite place for outdoor recreation for residents of Gorokhovets is Lake Singer, located in the village of Gashkino, not far from the city. Its length is 1.5 km and its depth barely reaches 26 meters. However, it has an amazing feature - fed by large amounts of spring water rich in silver ions, Lake Singer remains crystal clear all year round and does not bloom during the hottest period of the year.
    On the shore of the lake there are several recreation centers, a beach, barbecue facilities and centralized fishing. Local waters are rich in roach, perch and even pike!
