Pereslavl-Zalessky is a regional center in the Yaroslavl region, located halfway along the highway from Moscow to Yaroslavl. The city is part of the “Golden Ring of Russia” and is widely known thanks to its numerous monuments of ancient architecture. Pereslavl-Zalessky is one of the oldest cities in Central Russia. The city was founded by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky in 1152. For a number of years, Pereslavl was the capital of a vast principality. The outstanding statesman and commander Alexander Nevsky was born, lived and reigned here. At the beginning of the 14th century, the Pereslavl principality became part of the Moscow principality. The further fate of Pereslavl is closely connected with the fate of Moscow.
Pereslavl-Zalessky history.
The city was repeatedly ravaged by enemy troops, burned, but was rebuilt and strengthened again. The Great Dukes and Tsars Ivan III, Vasily III, and Ivan the Terrible visited Pereslavl more than once, and at times even lived. According to their decrees, fortifications and temples were erected in the city and its environs. In 1612, a militia under the leadership of Kozma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky stopped in Pereslavl. At the end of the 17th century, near Pereslavl on the shore of Lake Pleshcheevo, the young Tsar Peter I began building the so-called “amusing flotilla”, which laid the foundation for the Russian navy.

Pereslavl-Zalessky history.
In 1283, on the high left bank of the Volga, a fortress city was founded, named by Romanov. According to one version, its founder was the Uglich prince Roman Vladimirovich, who reigned from 1261 to 1285. Opposite the Borisoglebskaya Sloboda, he noticed the advantageous position of one of the hills, near which there were transports across the Volga and roads leading to the Trans-Volga north, rich in sables, flax, and honey, converged.
Pereslavl-Zalessky in the XVIII-XIX centuries.
In the 18th century, the first manufactories appeared in the city, and stone residential, commercial and industrial buildings were built. The last century has changed Pereslavl little. Situated off the road, the city grew slowly and hardly developed. At the end of the 19th century, the first strikes took place in Pereslavl factories - the revolutionary struggle of workers began. Today's Pereslavl-Zalessky is the regional center of the Yaroslavl region, a city of chemists and textile workers. On the outskirts of the city, blocks of new multi-storey buildings grew, schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and nurseries were built.
Attractions. Transfiguration Cathedral.
The Transfiguration Cathedral is the oldest temple in Pereslavl-Zalessky. It was founded by Yuri Dolgoruky in 1152, approximately at the same time as other cathedrals founded by the Grand Duke in Vladimir, Kideksha and Yuryev-Polsky.
Of all the buildings of Yuri Dolgoruky, the Transfiguration Cathedral in Pereslavl has retained the closest appearance to its original appearance. The white-stone cathedral is small in area; it was built for a small number of worshipers: the prince’s associates, warriors, and city nobility. The cathedral was not erected in the city center, but near the ramparts, near the Spasskaya passage tower, which has not survived to this day. The Cathedral of the Transfiguration is built of white stone blocks; between the outer and inner walls there is a rubble layer - crushed stone and construction waste filled with mortar. Thanks to this method of construction, the cathedral still stands today. During Soviet times, services in the cathedral were stopped. To this day, the ancient building of the Transfiguration Cathedral remains a museum, although services are held in it from time to time. (Address: Red Square)

St. Vladimir's Cathedral.
The Vladimir Cathedral (1740s) was built in the Bogoroditsko-Sretensky nunnery at the expense of the merchant Philip Fadeevich Ugryumov. After the abolition of this monastery in 1764, the church became a parish. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the spacious and rebuilt Vladimir Cathedral was turned into the main city church, and therefore received the nickname New among the townspeople (in contrast to the Old - this was the name of the ancient Transfiguration Cathedral). The appearance of the Vladimir Cathedral is quite unusual - a tall building with very closely spaced domes on high drums, one triangular apse with two tiers of windows, a narrow and high dome under the central drum. The latter is very large compared to the side ones, which also gives the appearance of the temple originality.
In 1933, the cathedral bell tower, which was a round tower, was demolished along with the stone fence surrounding the temple. It stood between the Vladimir and Alexander Nevsky churches, approximately at the place where the expanded Yaroslavl highway now passes. After 1929, the Vladimir Cathedral was given over to the city House of Sports, later converted into a bakery, and a bread store was opened in the altar. Nowadays, the cathedral has been almost completely restored and is functioning again. (Address: Sovetskaya st., 12)
Pereslavl-Zalessky - the city of the Golden Ring
17.09.2014
Pereslavl-Zalessky is a small town; Many auto tourists consider it as an intermediate point on the route from Moscow to Rostov Veliky. However, the number of attractions located in Pereslavl-Zalessky and its immediate surroundings is simply off the charts for a city with a population of 40 thousand people.
Pereslavl-Zalessky is located 140 km from Moscow, approximately half the way from Moscow to Yaroslavl.
Pereslavl is a relatively small city; Many auto tourists consider it as an intermediate point on the route from Moscow to Rostov Veliky. Nevertheless, Pereslavl has every reason to be considered an interesting route in its own right. The number of attractions located in Pereslavl and its immediate surroundings is simply off the charts for a city with a population of 40 thousand people.
You can spend an interesting day or two in Pereslavl – there are plenty of attractions. There are even ancient monuments, such as the Transfiguration Cathedral, preserved from pre-Mongol times.
Staying in the city is not a problem: there are many hotels and guest houses. Therefore, it is not surprising that the city is visited by many tourists. For example, in 2009, the city was visited by 292.6 thousand people, 91 percent of whom came here on an excursion. At the same time, 2 percent of tourists (5.8 thousand people) were foreigners.
Pereslavl-Zalessky was founded by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky in 1152. The predecessor of Pereslavl was the city of Kleshchin, which was a fortress surrounded by earthen ramparts on one of the hills overlooking Lake Pleshcheyevo. Yuri Dolgoruky moved the city to the mouth of the Trubezh River, to its confluence with Lake Pleeschevo.
Lake Pleshcheyevo
The new city was given a new name. Pereslavl received its name from the southern Russian Pereyaslavl, located in the territory of the current Kyiv region of Ukraine. And it began to be called Zalessky in the 15th century. The name of the Trubezh River was also borrowed from a tributary of the Dnieper, on which the Ukrainian Pereyaslavl stands.
Pereslavl reached its greatest prosperity during the reign of Vsevolod the Big Nest and his son Yaroslav. Shortly before his death, Vsevolod transferred the city to the reign of Yaroslav, thus making Pereslavl the center of an independent appanage principality. In Pereslavl in 1220, Prince Yaroslav had a son, Alexander - the future Alexander Nevsky.
However, Alexander himself reigned in Pereslavl for only a short time. In 1240, shortly after the Battle of the Neva, which Alexander won as the Prince of Novgorod, he quarreled with the Novgorodians and was forced to retire to his father, who gave him Pereslavl to rule. But a year later, the Novgorodians, whose lands were invaded by the Livonian knights, turned to Yaroslav with a request to give them Alexander as prince. In 1241, their request was granted, and Alexander left Pereslavl.
During its existence, Pereslavl-Zalessky was repeatedly devastated, became a victim of internecine wars between Russian princes, suffered from Tatar-Mongol raids, as well as from invasions of Polish-Lithuanian knights. Pereslavl suffered great damage during the Time of Troubles. In 1608, Pereslavl-Zalessky came under the rule of False Dmitry II, who went down in history under the name of Tushinsky Thief. Liberation came in September 1609, when Russian troops entered Pereslavl.
In 1688, the birth of the Russian fleet took place in Pereslavl-Zalessky - on the shore of Lake Pleshcheevo, Tsar Peter I began the construction of a “fun flotilla”, which was completed in 1692.
In 1708, Pereslavl became part of the Moscow province. Since then, he changed provincial subordination several times and managed to be part of the Vladimir and Yaroslavl provinces. From 1929 to the present day, Pereslavl-Zalessky is the center of the Pereslavl district of the Yaroslavl region.
There are many attractions in Pereslavl-Zalessky. If we talk about churches and monasteries, then, without a doubt, the Transfiguration Cathedral should be put in first place. Older than it in the city are only the earthen ramparts poured at the foundation of the city. The Transfiguration Cathedral was built back in the days when Rus' did not know about the Tatar-Mongol yoke. This is one of a very limited number of temples that have survived from those times in the Northeast. Moreover, the temple, even after repeated restorations and repairs, has been preserved in a form very close to the original.
Transfiguration Cathedral
At the entrance to the city there are several ancient monasteries - Holy Trinity Danilov, Feodorovsky, Goritsky Uspensky, Nikitsky. At different times, these monasteries enjoyed the patronage of various princes of the Moscow kingdom from the Rurik dynasty. Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich the Terrible repeatedly came to Pereslavl on pilgrimage, and many local churches owe their existence to his contributions.
Tsar Peter I left a great memory of himself in the city, having built a “funny flotilla” here. One of the first Russian provincial museums, the Botik Museum, founded in 1803, is dedicated to her. The entire museum collection consists, in fact, of one single attraction. Despite the order of Peter I to preserve all the ships that were part of the flotilla, only the boat “Fortune” has survived to this day, in the construction of which, as they say, the tsar himself took part. The remaining ships burned in a fire in 1783.
Boat of Peter I “Fortune”
If we talk about more modern attractions of Pereslavl, then it will be necessary to mention an unusual open-air museum dedicated to narrow-gauge railways. The Cuckoo Railway Museum itself, as it is called, is relatively new, although most of its exhibits are close to a hundred years old.
Peat development was once carried out in the vicinity of Pereslavl; For the export of peat (as well as for passenger transportation on a very limited scale), a local narrow-gauge railway was built. Over time, the need for it disappeared, but some infrastructure remained. At its base, in an abandoned depot near the Talitsy station, a group of enthusiasts created the Cuckoo Museum. You can take a photo against the backdrop of the exhibits, literally revived through the efforts of devotees. And you can even ride some of them.
Cuckoo Museum
On the way to “Kukushka”, on the shore of Lake Pleshcheevo there is a motley painted house with a teapot painted in white paint on the roof and a corresponding welcoming inscription on the wall - “Teapots live here.” Here, indeed, all kinds of teapots and all sorts of tea drinking accessories of bygone times are collected.
In addition to man-made monuments, Pereslavl-Zalessky has many attractions of natural origin. The most famous of them is the Blue Stone.
The stone got its name because after rain the color of the stone changes from gray to blue (this is the color its wet surface takes). The stone consists of fine-grained slate. According to recent studies, the weight of the stone is about 12 tons.
Blue stone
The blue stone was the object of worship of the Merians, and then the ancient pagan Slavs who came to the lake in the 9th-11th centuries. from the Novgorod and Dnieper lands. The essence and nature of the religious services held at the stone in pre-Christian times are unclear to modern science.
Now the stone is located on the shore of Lake Pleshcheevo, but previously it lay near the Borisoglebsky Nadozerny Monastery.
Despite the proximity of the Borisoglebsky Nadozerny Monastery, Pereslavl residents often gathered at the stone and had riotous fun, dancing and burning bonfires. For some time, the monks limited themselves to exhortations, frightening local residents with the fact that evil spirits lived in the idol. However, attention to the pagan shrine did not weaken.
The life of Saint Irinarch of Rostov says that the monk advised his friend Deacon Onufry to bury the stone. He buried the “idol”, which is why he was very sick later. According to another version, on the contrary, the deacon buried the stone and for this he recovered from the fever. The stone lay in the ground for some time, and then found itself outside again. Water erosion eroded the slope, and the freezing soil gradually pushed the stone out of the ground.
In order to overthrow pagan beliefs in these places, the stone was once “executed” - drowned in a lake. But in some incomprehensible way the boulder came out of the water, and it was again found lying on the shore of the lake.
Whether it is true or fiction is not the point; the fact is that today the Blue Stone is one of the symbols of the city and one of its most famous attractions.
Unfortunately, this does not have the best effect on his condition. Tourists knock pieces off the stone and write inscriptions on it. Not far from the stone there is a sign, a wooden table and a fire pit are equipped.
Blue stone is also popular among “neopagans”. They tie the bushes around the stone with ropes and rags, leave coins near it, and organize riots around it associated with the Kupala holidays.
In addition, the Blue Stone has become a testing ground for adherents of various kinds of unconventional mystical teachings, who explore its “aura” and establish “contacts with spirits.”

Church of Alexander Nevsky.
The Church of the Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky (1740s) was built at the expense of the Pereslavl merchant Philip Fadeevich Ugryumov (Ugrimov) in conjunction with the neighboring Vladimir Church. Both churches belonged to the Bogoroditsko-Sretensky (Sretensko-Vladimir Novodevichy) Monastery, located on the Red Square of the city, near the Transfiguration Cathedral. Soon after the construction of new churches, the monastery was abolished, and the churches were made parish.
All that remains of the monastery is a part of the wall with a gatehouse. Until the 1930s, there was a high bell tower between the churches; it was dismantled during the reconstruction of the Yaroslavl highway. The Alexander Nevsky Church has many common architectural features with the Vladimir Cathedral; They were probably built not only at the same time, but also by the same masters. The temple has large onion domes set on narrow, tall drums, making the temple appear squat than it actually is. Tall and beautiful carved crosses are placed on the bulbs. The semicircular vault of the main volume of the temple is raised high, the facades are practically devoid of decoration. The main quadrangle of the temple has two rows of windows; the building was planned to be light, but later part of the window openings of the lower tier was blocked up. The apse also has wide and tall windows with semicircular endings. The refectory windows are rectangular, but their upper part is decorated with small semicircles.
During Soviet times, the temple continued to operate for some time, remaining under the jurisdiction of the church community. In November 1925, the temple was robbed; thieves stole valuables from the 17th-18th centuries. Since the 1930s, the central city library was established in the temple. Later, the situation worsened - a bread store was made in the altar (the neighboring Vladimir Cathedral was used as a bakery), and in the rest of the building there was a garage of Lespromkhoz. The interior of the church was almost completely lost. A commission that visited Pereslavl-Zalessky in 1936 decided to preserve both churches as part of the interesting architectural ensemble of Red Square. In the early 1990s, the Alexander Nevsky Church was returned to believers, and now services are held there. (Sovetskaya st., 12)
TOURIST PERESLAVL
The city of Pereslavl-Zalessky has great attractive power as an ancient cultural and architectural monument: it is the same age as Moscow (founded in 1152), and now one of the most interesting centers of the Yaroslavl region. Not only architectural masterpieces give reason to include it in the “Golden Ring” of old Russian cities. Many events in Russian history took place within the walls and on the soil of this ancient city.

Pereslavl-Zalessky. The name alone of this ancient provincial town is both fascinating and alluring. It seems to invite you into a fascinating old Russian fairy tale that lives in the midst of modernity. The history of the Zalessky region originated somewhere far back in the mists of time. Its initial stages are the retreat of the last glacier, the appearance of taiga forests and rivers with their diverse inhabitants, and, as a consequence of the previous one, the arrival of the first people. The largest site of many ancient settlements in the Neolithic era was located on the eastern shore of the lake at the mouth of the river, later named Trubezh. Nowadays this place is known as Pereslavskaya Rybnaya Sloboda. It represents the oldest part of the city, a corner beloved by artists on the river, with weeping willows reflected in the water and ancient wooden huts along the banks. Another independent site of the ancient inhabitants of the region was located on the so-called Bolshaya Pesoshnitsa - on the banks of the same river, approximately where Trubezhnaya Street is now located. This is evidenced by finds, including shards of pottery with ornaments and large quantities of animal bones.
The hilly northeastern shore of Lake Zalesskoe, called Kleshchino in ancient times, has long been attractive to people. According to archaeological research, in the 4th century AD this coast was inhabited by the Finno-Ugric Merya tribes. In the 9th-10th centuries, during the influx of population from the south to the northeast of Rus', Slavs from the Novgorod and Dnieper lands came to Zalesye in search of fertile places. On the northeastern shore of the lake they founded a settlement, giving it the name Kleshchin. Evidence of those times has survived to this day, and it is they that make up one of the popular tourist routes today. This is the north-eastern shore of Lake Pleshcheev, beloved by city guests and Pereslavl residents, where the Kleshchinsky complex is located. It includes the remains of an ancient Slavic town, a burial mound, Alexander Mountain, which was formerly a pagan temple, and the legendary Blue Stone, which was once worshiped by the Merya and the Slavs.
Information from the chronicles says that in 1152, one of the younger sons of Vladimir Monomakh, Yuri Dolgoruky, moved the city “like on Kleshchina Lake” to the intersection of important trade routes near the mouth of the river and “...found a great city and erect a church of the Holy Savior...”. The emerging settlement, which “took over the glory” of the surrounding cities, was named Pereyaslavl New. This is a proud name, according to the historian M.I. Smirnova, sounds like “... combative and completely akin to the favorite princely and squad names: Yaroslav, Svyatoslav, Izyaslav...”. The town, which arose in the 12th century in the north of Rus', became the third with a similar name - after Pereyaslavl of Kyiv (993) and Ryazan (1095). And only in the 15th century near Pereyaslavl, located from Kyiv “beyond the Bryn forests”, the name of the city, better known to us, was finally established - Pereslavl-Zalessky.
This is a beautiful ancient city with an extremely interesting and eventful history. Its picturesque corners preserve the memory of many famous political figures and important historical facts. The 13th century became especially bright in the history of Pereslavl, when the city was the capital of a vast appanage principality, and at the same time a major cultural and political center of North-East Rus'. In those years, independent chronicling was carried out in the city, known today as “The Chronicler of Pereslavl of Suzdal.” In the same century, namely in May 1220, the famous Russian commander Alexander Yaroslavovich, later nicknamed Nevsky, was born here. At one time, he restored Pereslavl after another devastation by the Tatars and founded a monastery on Alexandrova Mountain. The holy noble prince Alexander Nevsky is especially revered in his homeland; he is one of the seven Pereslavl saints.
Pereslavl is one of the few Russian cities where you can see the 12th-century earthen fortress that once surrounded the settlement. The monument to early fortress construction has existed for more than eight and a half centuries and has been perfectly preserved to this day. Today, the ancient Pereslavl ramparts are an excellent place for walking, with a magnificent panorama of the old city opening from here.
Studies of the area have shown that the internal area of the city in the first centuries of its existence was about 500 meters wide and 700 meters long. Earthen walls with a circumference of more than 2.5 km once reached an impressive height of up to 16 meters. The Pereslavl fortress was surrounded on the outer sides by rivers - Trubezh, Murmash and an artificial reservoir - a deep ditch with dug pointed stakes along the edges. In the old days, the crest of the rampart was crowned with wooden chopped walls with towers. They burned repeatedly during princely civil strife or Tatar raids, but were then restored. However, in the 18th century, the wooden walls were finally dismantled “due to disrepair and uselessness.”
On Red Square of Pereslavl, in a complex with an ancient embankment, there is a small one-domed stone temple - the Transfiguration Cathedral, founded by Yuri Dolgoruky in 1152 for the needs of the princely court and the garrison of the fortress. It is one of the oldest architectural monuments of the Vladimir-Suzdal school of architecture. The construction of this temple took five years and was completed, according to many historians, by the son of the city founder Andrei Bogolyubsky. The white-stone Savior, made in the Byzantine style, is a cross-domed four-pillar church traditional for the mid-12th century. Its image is simple and its decoration is sparse; only the drum of the dome and the cornices of the altar apses are decorated with arched belts. Despite the very turbulent course of many centuries, time has hardly left its mark on the appearance of the old Pereslavl temple. However, now in the ancient walls of the Transfiguration Cathedral there is no former splendid interior content, which once impressed the ancestors. Many priceless objects of ancient Russian art - church utensils, icons, books - disappeared without a trace during numerous devastations and fires. The original fresco painting of the second half of the 12th century also turned out to be lost. Miraculously, a silver chalice from the 12th century, decorated with ornaments, which, according to legend, was donated to the Pereslavl Cathedral by Yuri Dolgoruky, has survived to this day. Today this unique monument of decorative and applied art can be seen in the Armory Chamber of the Moscow Kremlin. The temple icon “Transfiguration” from the 14th century, attributed to the workshop of Theophanes the Greek, has also been preserved to this day. The icon has been in Moscow since the 1920s, being one of the famous exhibits of the Tretyakov Gallery. The marble altar barrier installed in the temple dates back to the 19th century. Previously, the ancient one-domed cathedral was not only the main temple of the city, but also the tomb of the Pereslavl appanage princes. The son and grandson of Prince Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Alexandrovich and Ivan Dmitrievich, are buried there. Like his father, Dmitry Alexandrovich, proved himself to be an outstanding commander of his time. And Ivan Dmitrievich, having no direct heirs, before his death in 1302, bequeathed Pereslavl to his Moscow ally - his uncle Daniil Alexandrovich. This circumstance played an important role in the further formation of Moscow as the capital of Rus'. As a sign of the voluntary annexation of Pereslavl, a tradition appeared - to serve smoked Pereslavl herring - vendace, which has been found in Lake Pleshcheyevo since ancient times, on the royal table at the coronation of the heir to the Moscow throne.
During the Moscow period, the Zalessk city was actually the second religious capital of the Russian state. The names of many famous church figures and saints are associated with Pereslavl, including Sergius of Radonezh, Dmitry Prilutsky, Metropolitans Pimen, Athanasius, Peter and others.
The fate of the wife of Grand Duke Dmitry Donskoy, Evdokia, who escaped with her baby in the city of Zalessk from the persecution of Khan Tokhtamysh, is also closely intertwined with Pereslavl. Later, with her donations, the Goritsky Monastery, burned by the Tatars, was restored and a new wooden Church of St. John the Evangelist was built on the banks of the Trubezh.
Vasily III and Ivan the Terrible visited Pereslavl on pilgrimages more than once, making rich contributions to the Nikitsky, Trinity Danilov and Goritsky monasteries. Under Ivan IV, the Alexandrova settlement of Pereslavl district became the center of the oprichnina, in which Pereslavl residents Malyuta Skuratov, Alexey and Fyodor Basmanov played a prominent role.
Surviving documents clearly indicate that in the 16th century many merchants and artisans lived in Pereslavl. Among the latter were shoemakers, spoon makers, and nail makers. A special place was occupied by fishermen and falcon washers, who served the princely court and were exempt from regular city duties.
The energetic “tsar-carpenter, tsar-worker” Peter I also left his bright mark on the history of the city, having built an amusing fleet on the shores of Lake Pleshcheevo at the end of the 17th century, which laid the foundations of Russian shipbuilding. The historical museum-estate with the affectionate name “Boat of Peter the Great”, where Peter the Great’s business court was once located, today arouses great interest among Russians and foreign guests who want to see with their own eyes the cradle of the Russian fleet - the oval Pereslavl Lake - and Peter’s boat “Fortune”, which is kept in the museum on Mount Gremyach.
A popular attraction of Pereslavl today is the largest provincial historical, architectural and art museum-reserve in Russia, located within the walls of the former Goritsky Monastery. For almost fifty years, starting in 1744, this ancient monastery was the center of a vast diocese, including Mozhaisk, Dmitrov, Volokolamsk, Ruza and other ancient Russian cities. Today, Goritsy houses many unique monuments of antiquity and art, including church utensils, paintings, furniture, household items, etc.
During the existence of the Pereslavl diocese, more than six thousand inhabitants lived in the city. But after the plague of 1771, this number remained
only half of the townspeople. The basis of the settlement was the merchants, who, according to data from 1776, owned 61 shops and 6 taverns, where there was a brisk trade in goods typical of that time: clothing, cloth, “trifles for ordinary people and the peasantry,” as well as food products – “livestock and indigenous fish.” , nuts, gingerbread, sugar, flour, apples and grape drinks.
Remaining a major spiritual center of Russia with many churches, the famous Pereslavl-Zalessky from the 18th century “quietly rested on the laurels of its past.” At first it was the center of the province of the Moscow province, and since 1778 it has been a district town of the Vladimir province. However, even then Pereslavl was considered one of the first in trade and industry among the same district cities in central Russia. In the second half of the 19th century, six linen factories, a carriage and sausage establishment, and thirteen factories, including fur, tobacco and candle factories, operated here. The largest in the city was the Borisov paper spinning factory, which employed more than two thousand people.
But gradually the economy of the Zalessk city declined, and from the once developed settlement Pereslavl turned into a quiet county town. Many are inclined to believe that the reason for this is the lack of a railway in the city. It took place only 18 miles from Pereslavl, as a result of which it was deprived of opportunities for economic growth for many years.
Today Pereslavl-Zalessky is included in the famous tourist route “Golden Ring of Russia” and, despite the fact that many city churches were lost during the Soviet years, Pereslavl is still one of the centers of Russian Orthodoxy.
Currently, Pereslavl is the regional center of the Yaroslavl region with a population of about 42 thousand people. This is a cozy, clean and attractive Russian corner for tourists with beautiful landscapes, ancient Orthodox shrines and ancient houses along the central streets. More than once, people of art have fruitfully drawn inspiration from the local nature and rich history. The Pereslavl land was captured in their works by writers N.A. Ostrovsky and M.M. Prishvin, artist K. Korovin, D. N. Kardovsky and many others.
The famous Zalessky region is a protected area. His lake Pleshcheyevo today measures more than 6.5 km x 9.5 km and is one of the largest lakes in the Upper Volga region, as well as the center of the National Park of the same name.
On the outskirts of the city, Pereslavl residents bake delicious bread and make cheese, produce photographic paper and a variety of packaging. Graduates of local schools have the opportunity, without leaving the city, to continue their studies at the Film and Photo Technical College, which is named after “Alexander Nevsky” or the University of Pereslavl with the main directions of “applied mathematics” and “computer science”.
Local residents, accustomed to a measured pace of life, in their free time love to relax in the lap of nature, enjoying the coolness of the lake or river, and ski and sled down steep snow-covered hills in winter.
Very often on weekends, the picturesque Pereslavl region is filled with vacationers from near and far cities, many of whom are not in the Zalessky city for the first time. Most of the visitors strive first of all to visit Orthodox monasteries in one or all four - and to visit the local holy springs.
Guests of Pereslavl are always looking forward to comfortable hotels, restaurants with original cuisine and numerous museums with various collections of irons, teapots, steam locomotives and peasant utensils.
But especially Pereslavl residents and guests of the city love traditional holidays - Christmas at the Museum, City Day, Broad Maslenitsa, Youth Day, Aeronautics Festival and Navy Day. The holidays are always perfectly organized - with a unique twist and love for the native land.
Once you arrive in Zalesye, you will not be able to remain indifferent to this amazing land. The small ancient city of Pereslavl-Zalessky will definitely leave pleasant memories of itself, forcing you to return here again and again.
Goritsky Assumption Monastery.
Goritsky Assumption Monastery was founded in the first half of the 14th century under Ivan Kalita. It received its most famous name from its location on a hill - “goritsa”. Nothing has survived from the ancient wooden buildings. In 1382, Tokhtamysh’s army destroyed Pereyaslavl-Zalessky, and with it the Goritsky Monastery. Since the 16th century, the monastery has had stone buildings, which indicates its wealth.
In the second half of the 17th century, the monastery was surrounded from the south and southwest by a new stone fence with towers, Holy and Passage Gates, and a gatekeeper's chamber. The Holy Gates with the gateway St. Nicholas Church are an example of the combination of two styles adjacent in time: patterned and Moscow Baroque.
Goritsky Assumption Monastery.
The passage gate of the monastery in the eastern wall is considered a true masterpiece of architecture of the 17th century. They are not tall and served more of a household function, but their elegant decoration certainly attracts attention and makes them stand out against the backdrop of almost smooth, decor-free walls. The walls were completed in the 18th century. At that time, the new wall no longer had any defensive significance, so its height was much less than is usually the case in ancient fortresses. In the 19th century, a low belfry was built in the northern wall, from which a magnificent view of Lake Pleshcheyevo opens.
Assumption Cathedral.
The Assumption Cathedral, the main building of the Goritsky Monastery, began to be built in the mid-1750s. The cathedral is crowned with a five-domed church with widely spaced domes. The interior of the cathedral is striking in its scope. It is richly decorated with stucco and Baroque paintings; The best craftsmen from New Jerusalem worked on its decoration. The unique multi-tiered gilded iconostasis was made under the direction of the famous Moscow master Yakov Zhukov and decorated with Baroque columns, figures and floral patterns. Icons for him were painted by masters from New Jerusalem. The interiors of the temple suffered greatly due to the fact that the room was “summer”, that is, it was not heated, and the winter cold annually caused considerable damage to the stucco moldings and wall paintings. And yet the cathedral was maintained in the greatest order compared to other buildings of the monastery.
Bell tower with Epiphany Church.
The main vertical of the monastery - the bell tower with the Church of the Epiphany - began to be built in the 1760s, then construction stalled and was completed in the 1780s. It is an imposing and majestic four-tiered building with a small church in the lower tier. Now there is a spacious observation deck on the bell tower, which offers, perhaps, the best and most complete view of the entire city. In Soviet times, a local history museum was created in the Goritsky Monastery, one of the first in the republic - it was founded in 1919. Nowadays there is still a museum in the Goritsky Monastery of Pereslavl. In winter, the Assumption Cathedral is closed for inspection in order to preserve the interiors; There is no entrance to the bell tower in winter. (Address: Museum Lane, 4)
Attractions
Arriving in Pereslavl-Zalessky, you begin to think about where to start the excursion route. Every street and house has its own history. It is convenient to start your journey from the historical center, namely Red Square. Battles once raged here and holidays were organized.
Since the 19th century there have been oak pillars with a bell on them. At the sound of its ringing, a city meeting would gather. On May 30, 1220, Alexander Nevsky was born in the princely chambers of Red Square. Previously, on the square there was the “court of the Great Sovereign,” a squad from which they went to battle.
The appearance of the territory has constantly changed throughout its history. From time to time new buildings appeared and old ones were demolished. Today the ancient center looks less lively. In the center stands the Transfiguration Cathedral (Pereslavl Kremlin), built by Yuri Dolgoruky in 1152. The shrine is the main decoration of the square. This is the only one of the five first white stone objects that has survived to this day.
The baptism of noble persons was organized here; this is the tomb of the great princes. In 1939, archaeological work was carried out near the monastery. Experts found the lid of the sarcophagus from the grave of Ivan Dmitrievich. St. Sergius of Radonezh was elevated to the rank of rank here. Red Square is still surrounded by ramparts. It feels like you are momentarily stepping back into the past.
Monasteries and temples
The city is a point of pilgrimage. Many monasteries have survived on the territory. The Goritsky Monastery (museum-reserve) was built back in the 14th century. Presumably, Ivan Kalita took part in this process. Today the building houses the state historical, architectural and art museum-reserve. The territory of the complex is huge. Walking along it, you can get acquainted with the interiors of churches, and, if you wish, climb the bell tower.
The high point offers incredibly beautiful views of the local surroundings. Every year the territory of the monastery becomes more and more dense. Plaster is falling off the walls. Iconostases, icons, frescoes, paintings have not been restored and have been preserved unchanged. The entire interior is designed in Italian Baroque style. This is a rare design for our country.
Nikitsky Monastery appeared in 1010. It existed even when the city was located near Alexander Mountain. The monastery recently celebrated its thousandth anniversary. Over time, the shrine was restored and rebuilt several times. Powerful walls became a real defense against enemies. Today it is an unusually beautiful building that adorns the space with its white stone walls. There is a bell tower, a watchtower, the Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Martyr, the Annunciation Church with a refectory.
St. Nicholas Monastery was once rightfully considered the most spectacular place in the city. The object was located not far from the Kremlin and stood out noticeably with its grandeur against the background of the general panorama. It was founded in the 14th century by Dmitry Prilutsky. During the period of troubles, the shrine was devastated by Poland. The restoration process began in 1645. At first the shrine was a monastery for men. In 1898 it was illuminated as a convent. If you take a walk around the territory, you will be able to see several temples, among which the famous Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
The Holy Trinity Danilov Monastery has also miraculously survived to this day. You can see it in the southeastern part of the city. The shrine was founded in the 16th century by Danil. It was a monk of the Goritsky monastery. The founder is buried on the temple grounds. In its architecture, the object resembles the Old Russian style. It is active and services are held regularly.
In the southern part of the city there is the Fedorovsky Monastery. Its foundation was carried out in 1304. A serious battle between Muscovites and Tver residents once took place in this place. It was of great importance for the capital. Moscow has raised its status. In the 1740s, the Vladimir Cathedral was built at the expense of F. Ugryumov. In 2001, the Znamenskaya Church appeared on the site of a previously standing winery.
In order to thoroughly explore and visit all the shrines of the city, it will take a lot of time. Each of them has its own complicated history. If you have time, then take a look at the Intercession, Simeonovskaya, Sretenskaya, Smolensk-Kornilievskaya churches, Fedorovskaya Chapel “Cross”, Chernigovskaya Chapel and other equally interesting objects.
Museums
Be sure that a tour of the exhibition centers of the locality will give you a lot of unforgettable emotions. Start your review with the only ship of Peter the Great's amusing flotilla, which miraculously survived to this day. Previously it was called "Fortune". The building is over 300 years old. This great age is explained by the fact that the vessel was well cared for. It was found back in the 19th century and immediately placed in its proper place, where it remains to this day.
The Poteshnaya Flotilla previously had about three dozen similar ships. Lake Pleshcheyevo served as a training ground for sailors. Various training battles were organized. The reservoir was large and had an advantageous location.

This is the most ancient monastery of Pereslavl-Zalessky, according to some sources, founded earlier than 1186. Tradition says that it was founded by Prince Boris, the son of Vladimir the Red Sun. All monastery buildings earlier than the 16th century were wooden and have not survived to this day. The Nikitsky Monastery flourished in the 16th century, when these places attracted the attention of Tsar Ivan the Terrible. On his orders, new buildings and walls with towers began to be erected: the tsar was preparing a reserve fortress for himself in case of betrayal by the guardsmen stationed in nearby Aleksandrov. In 1611, the walls of the monastery withstood the siege of the Polish-Lithuanian troops of Jan Sapieha for two weeks, but in the end the defense fell and the monastery was ravaged and burned. In the 1640s, the damaged walls were restored, and the top of the towers was added in the 19th century.

Nikolsky Monastery
Cathedral of the Great Martyr Nikita.
The main cathedral of the Great Martyr Nikita (1561-1564) was built in the center of the monastery territory at the behest of Ivan the Terrible. Its southern aisle is a temple built by Vasily III in 1520, in fact, the first stone building of the monastery. Its top was built on during the construction of a new large cathedral. In subsequent centuries, the cathedral underwent numerous reconstructions. The middle dome is unusually large, so that next to it, the side domes that are far from being small seem quite small. At the end of the 1980s. The central dome unexpectedly collapsed and has now been restored.
Tent bell tower.
The tented bell tower (1668), adjacent to the refectory, is located between the Nikitsky Cathedral and the Church of the Annunciation. The pillar is octagonal, decorated with horizontal belts. The area for bells and ringing, covered with a tent containing “rumours”, is surrounded by wide arched openings.
The second, newer bell tower - the gate tower, in three tiers, was built in the first decades of the 19th century. The temple of the Archangel Gabriel was built in it. The bell tower is much higher than the old one and is consistent with the traditions of its time, which makes it sharply different from the rest of the ensemble, with the exception of the completion of the towers, erected on the site of the previous tents in the same 19th century.

The walls of the Nikti Monastery.
The walls of the Nikti Monastery in Pereslavl The walls and towers of the monastery, like many other buildings, were erected by order and with the help of Ivan the Terrible. There were three battles within the walls: upper, middle and lower. The walls were made of bricks held together with a special mortar, and large boulders were placed in the foundation. The towers protruding forward from the walls made it possible to freely shoot from one tower to another from their loopholes.

City ramparts of Pereslavl.
The ring of defensive earthen ramparts of Pereslavl-Zalessky was erected in the 12th century; it covers the area of the ancient city and reaches 2.5 km in length, up to 6 meters in width; in ancient times the height of the embankments reached 10-16 meters. Under Prince Vsevolod the Big Nest in 1195, high wooden fortifications were erected on top of the ramparts - tyn, or “city”, with towers and a sharp jagged top. In one of the towers - Tainitskaya - a secret passage to Trubezh was hidden in case of a siege. Outside the fortress, deep ditches with water were dug along the ramparts. Three gates led to the fortress - Spassky, Dukhovsky and Nikolsky, with the same-named road towers, leading towards Moscow, Yaroslavl and Lake Pleshcheevo.
Kremlin of Pereslavl-Zalessky
During the reign of Prince Yuri Dolgoruky, on the shore of Lake Pleshcheevo (then it was Lake Kleshchino) there was a powerful fortress for its time - a fortified princely town, called Kleshchin.
According to the chronicle, in 1152 the prince moved the city from Lake Kleshchina to a new location - at the intersection of important trade routes near the mouth of the Trubezh River.
In the new city, Yuri Dolgoruky erected a stone church of St. Savior, and also built fortifications, the most powerful among those erected in the cities founded by the prince.
The built Kremlin was the central part of the ancient Russian city. The length of its ramparts was almost 2.5 kilometers, the height was from 10 to 16 meters, and the width reached 6 meters. On top of the ramparts, wooden walls with towers were built. Researchers believe that in the 12th–13th centuries in the Vladimir-Suzdal land this fortress was the second most powerful after the capital Vladimir.
From the outside, the Kremlin walls were protected by natural barriers - the Trubezh River and its tributary Murmazh (now filled up), as well as a specially dug ditch. Thus, the fortress was surrounded on all sides by water.
The Kremlin was captured and plundered by the Horde more than once; it also suffered greatly during the Time of Troubles, but after each destruction its walls and towers were restored. Only in 1759 the wooden walls were dismantled as unnecessary and due to dilapidation.
Currently, a magnificent panorama of the old city opens from the ancient Pereslavl ramparts.
City ramparts of Pereslavl.
In 1759, the fortress walls of Pereslavl were dismantled. However, fortunately, there was not enough money in the Pereslavl treasury to completely demolish the earthen fortifications and build a boulevard in their place, as was done in many cities, and now we can see the ancient ramparts, noticeably rooted into the ground, almost completely volume, of course, are no longer so high, although in some places their height still reaches 10 meters. There is a climb up the ramparts in many places, and walking along them, you can see the whole of Pereslavl-Zalessky from a new angle. Today the earthworks of Pereslavl are included in the list of monuments of federal significance. (Address: Pereslavl-Zalessky, Valovoe Koltso St.)

Museum-estate "Boat of Peter I".
The museum-estate "Boat of Peter I", one of the first museums in Russia, was founded in 1803, although its history began more than a century before, when the young Tsar Peter arrived in Pereslavl in 1688. The sight of the spacious Lake Pleshcheevo gave him the idea of setting up his “amusing” flotilla here. Construction began immediately, in July-August 1688, under the leadership of the Dutch shipwright Carsten Brandt, at the mouth of Trubezh. By 1689, almost the entire flotilla, with the exception of the main ship, was ready. Peter personally took part in the construction of yachts and boats.
In a few months, an entire town was built near the village of Veskova: a wooden palace, outbuildings and a camp church. The construction of ships resumed - this time large ones, including the 30-gun frigate "Mars", named after the ancient god of war. Peter's first flotilla was a training one, both for Russian shipbuilders and future sailors. In 1693, Peter I left for Arkhangelsk to build a new flotilla, no longer “amusing”.
Founding of Pereslavl-Zalessky in 1152 by Yuri Dolgoruky
Pereslavl-Zalessky was founded in 1152 by Grand Duke Yuri Dolgoruky. The city is located on a low, flat bank of a river called Trubezh, not far from its confluence with Lake Kleshchino (now Pleshcheyevo).
Before Pereslavl, a small fortified town had already been founded on the shore of the lake; its ramparts were preserved on a hill near the village of Gorodishche. But it was not the first settlement in these places. Archaeologists have found sites of primitive people on the shores of Lake Pleshcheevo - places rich in fish and game constantly attracted people here.
A high earthen rampart was erected around Pereslavl, on top of which wooden walls about 2.5 km long were erected, and at the foot of the city, where there was no river, a ditch was dug. Thus he was protected on all sides.
Inside the fortress, behind the northern part of the rampart, in 1152-1157. The white stone Transfiguration Cathedral was built, now the oldest architectural monument in Central Russia.
The son of Yuri Dolgoruky, Andrei Bogolyubsky (1157-1174), under whom the importance of North-Eastern Rus' increased even more, moved the capital of the principality to Vladimir-Zalessky, erecting a more powerful fortress there.
In 1174, the boyar conspirators killed Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky and placed their henchmen on the Vladimir table. In 1175, the residents of Vladimir rebelled against the boyar proteges and, with the help of the Pereslavl people, expelled them.
Pereslavl-Zalessky - the center of the appanage principality
Andrei's brothers - Mikhail and Vsevolod - divided the interfluve into two principalities: Vladimir and Pereslavl, the latter including the upper reaches of the Volga and Klyazma. Vsevolod the Big Nest becomes the first prince of Pereslavl, so nicknamed because he had many children: eight sons and four daughters. The following year, Vsevolod Yuryevich becomes the Grand Duke of Vladimir (1176-1212), retaining the Pereslavl inheritance. Under him, the Principality of Vladimir reached its greatest prosperity and power, while Pereslavl-Zalessky grew and developed, becoming a major trade, craft and cultural center. In the 12th century, “The Word of Daniil the Sharper” was written here - a masterpiece of ancient Russian literature.
After the fragmentation of the Vladimir principality, Pereslavl became the head of an appanage principality (1212-1302) and turned into a major political center. Pereslavl princes Yaroslav Vsevolodovich (1210-1240), Alexander Yaroslavovich Nevsky (1240-1263), Dmitry Alexandrovich (1263-1294) were Grand Dukes of Vladimir and Princes of Novgorod. In 1236, Yaroslav Vsevolodovich, although not for long, became the Grand Duke of Kyiv. Pereslavl squads played an important role in the internecine battles of the princes (Battle of Lipetsk, 1216) and in the fight against external enemies of the Russian land.
Alexander Nevsky - a native of Pereslavl-Zalessky
A special word must be said about Alexander Nevsky, who was born in Pereslavl, as he played an important role in the history of Rus'. His victories over the knights of the orders of the cross (Battle of the Neva in 1240, the Battle of Lake Peipus in 1242) saved the Russian lands from the threat of foreign yoke. After his death, he was canonized, and the Church of Alexander Nevsky was built in the center of the city on Red Square. And in 1958, Pereslavl residents erected a monument to Alexander Nevsky (sculptor S. Orlov) next to the Transfiguration Cathedral.
Pereslavl-Zalessky during the years of the Tatar-Mongol and Polish-Swedish intervention
The city was not spared by the Tatar-Mongol yoke. The city was invaded by the Golden Horde khans six times. But the Pereslavl people fought bravely against their enemies. In the Battle of Kulikovo Field, Pereslavl regiments under the leadership of governor Andrei Serkizovich fought bravely under the banners of Dmitry Donskoy. And, as you know, the Battle of Kulikovo is the first major victory of the Russians in the fight against the Tatar conquerors.
In 1302, after the death of the last childless prince of Pereslavl, the vast principality was annexed to Moscow, which represented a major step in the unification of North-Eastern Rus'. Since then, the fate of Pereslavl has been inextricably linked with Moscow. In 1305 and 1372 Pereslavl residents, with the help of Moscow, repel the attempts of the Tver princes to take possession of the city.
In 1382, Pereslavl, like Moscow, was ravaged and burned by the troops of Tokhtamysh. And in 1408, Khan Edigei, being unable to take Moscow, plundered and burned Pereslavl, Rostov, Nizhny Novgorod and other Russian cities. Pereslavl residents also took part in the internecine struggle between Vasily the Dark and Dmitry Shemyaka in the first half of the 15th century, being supporters of the Prince of Moscow.
Pereslavl played a significant role during the oprichnina, the center of which Ivan the Terrible made Aleksandrova Sloboda, which was then part of the Pereslavl district. On the initiative of the tsar, in 1564 the fortress walls of the Pereslavl Nikitsky Monastery were rebuilt, which, apparently, was supposed to become the second center of the oprichnina. The closest associates of Ivan the Terrible, the oprichniki Basmanovs, had their own estates in the Pereslavl region.
Great trials befell the Pereslavl people during the years of the Polish-Swedish intervention. In 1608, the boyar and trade elite of the city took the side of False Dmitry II, but the atrocities of the interventionists soon aroused the indignation of the townspeople and peasants. The uprising raised by the Pereslavl people was suppressed by the troops of Pan Lisovsky, and only at the beginning of September 1609 Pereslavl was liberated with the help of the troops of the outstanding Russian military leader M.V. Skopin-Shuisky, who significantly strengthened the city. Many Pereslavl residents took part in the defense of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. In 1611 they defended the walls of the Nikitsky Monastery against the troops of Pan Sapieha. In 1612, the militia of Minin and Pozharsky passed through the city, and many Pereslavl residents took part in the liberation of Moscow.
Pereslavl-Zalessky - the birthplace of the Russian Navy
Pereslavl was the birthplace of the Russian navy. Four kilometers from the city on Mount Gremyach, on the shore of Lake Pleshcheyeva, in 1689 Peter I began the construction of a “funny” flotilla, which was the first training detachment where domestic shipbuilding and navigation were laid out. From 1688 to 1693 In Pereslavl, about 100 ships were launched, among them several frigates, including the 30-gun Mars and Anna. The first Russian shipbuilders and military sailors were trained here. But in 1783, during a big fire in the city, all the ships of Peter the Great’s flotilla burned down; only the boat “Fortune” was preserved, which is now in the “Botik” museum, opened in 1803 on the site of the shipyard. It was one of the first provincial museums. Near it there is a monument to Peter I by the artist A. S. Campioni.
In 1894, V.I. Lenin worked in the village of Gorki, Pereslavl district. And in 1913, Tsar Nicholas II visited Pereslavl-Zalessky during the celebration of the tercentenary of the Romanov dynasty.
The Pereslavl History and Art Museum was opened in 1918. Since 1919, it has been located on the territory of the Goritsky Monastery.
How to get to Pereslavl.
By train: There is no railway in Pereslavl. The nearest stations to Pereslavl are Berendeevo or Ryazantsevo (about 15 km) on the Moscow-Yaroslavl railway. However, there is no point in going there, because it is almost impossible to get from these stations to Pereslavl. For transferring from train to bus, Petrovsk, Rostov Veliky or, at worst, Sergiev Posad, where buses run every two hours to Pereslavl, are much better suited. Although the best way is to go directly by bus from Moscow or Yaroslavl. By bus: Many buses go from Yaroslavl and Moscow, a little less from Sergiev Posad. By car: On the M8/E115 highway (Yaroslavskoe highway) 131 km from the MKAD (Moscow). Along the same road from Yaroslavl – 140 km. Pereslavl-Zalessky is a city of the Golden Ring of Russia, rightfully considered one of the best places of concentration of historical and architectural monuments of Rus'. However, it is known not only for its historical and architectural monuments, but also for its absolutely innovative approach to the tourism industry. There is no such abundance of private museums in any other city of the Golden Ring. Just look at the museums of steam locomotives, a teapot, an iron and Russian flax. We recommend that you find time in your busy life and visit this wonderful city.
Legends of Lake Pleshcheyevo
The city stands on the shore of a large lake, one of the most beautiful on the Central Russian plain - a real pearl of the “Golden Ring of Russia”. People have long settled on its shores and revered this lake as a holy place. To this day, on its northeastern shore you can see a large boulder - the Blue Stone - a place of worship of ancient pagans.
Transfiguration Cathedral
The lake itself has a round shape and receives water from 19 rivers and streams. Its largest tributary is the Trubezh River, which originates in the Berendeyev swamp. It’s not difficult to get around the lake - the whole way around will take about 30 km.
It is shallow off the coast and has long been favored by fans of windsurfing and kiteboarding. It is convenient to learn to “control” the wind here. And even if a beginner is inadvertently carried away from the shore, he can always return on foot through the shallow water.
While taking an excursion around the lake, you cannot help but visit several earthen ramparts remaining from the ancient Russian city of Kleshchina. He was the predecessor of Pereslavl-Zalessky. And, of course, a special protected area here is the Pleshcheyevo Lake national park, created to preserve and restore the natural-historical complex around Pereslavl-Zalessky.
