Travel Guide Nikolskoye ())

We leave the road of Rostov and follow, on the left, a road that leads through fields and hills in the village of Nikolskoyé. Wooden houses are arranged all around a large pond, the framework is very pleasant. In the thirteenth century, Nikolskoyé was led by the grandson of Iouri Dolgorouki, Prince Vladimir Vsevolodovitch, then by Prince Vasilko Constantinovich. Under Ivan the Terrible, the village was given to the episcopal house of Rostov.In front of the village cemetery stands the church of the Transfiguration (Preobrajenia) built in 1700 on order of the metropolitan Iosaf de Rostov, on the foundations of the church of Saint-Nicolas (high, according to legend, by the famous voivodship Gromilo). The upper part of the Transfiguration Church is decorated with shells, late resonances of the architecture of the Moscow Kremlin Arch Cathedral. Inside, a fresco from the beginning of the eighteenth century is quite well preserved.
