Galich - a cozy town of the Kostroma region, which is 120 km from Kostroma, comfortably stretched for several kilometers along the southern shore of the lake of the same name, with which the whole life of the city is closely connected.

Galichsky Lake pleases not only the eye, but the body. It is shallow, it warms up rather quickly, and the depth, even 100 meters from the shore, hardly reaches the waist. You can swim at the City Beach or look for an uninhabited entrance to the water in the vicinity.

Galich was 850 years old in 2009.

It's interesting

Galich is situated among the green hills of Balchug, on the shore of Galich Lake. Tradition says that a precious treasure is hidden on the bottom of this lake, but you can get it by making a terrible thing: after digging the first-born son into the ground. Fortunately, no one agrees to do this, so that the treasure is likely to remain at the bottom forever. In the old days the city was famous as one of the centers for trade in furs and grain, there were brick and distilleries here.

Modern Galich can not boast of industrial enterprises, but there are enough sights here. Many of them suffered not from wars, but from Soviet power, but in the 1990s, the situation began to be corrected: churches are being restored, excavations are being carried out, and lost historical treasures are being gathered at a fraction.

Hotels and cafes

There are two hotels in the city, "Gostiny Dom" is located at ul. Lermontov, 18 and the hotel without a name at ul. Kasatkina, 1 B. The cost of living in the first from 1200 to 1500 rubles per day, the second is somewhat cheaper, and the interior, of course, is simpler. It is hardly worth counting on the European level of service, but it is quite possible to stay for the duration of your stay in the city.

Entertainment, excursions and sights Galich

It is worth visiting the Transfiguration Cathedral, which is located on the territory of the former Kremlin. The Preobrazhenskaya church, built in the style of the provincial baroque (1771), adjoins it. In the center of the city - stone shopping arcades of the 19th century. Along the road to Soligalich are several old merchants' mansions and the church of Basil the Great.

In Galicia there are also amusing monuments of the Soviet era - a tractor surrounded by typical five-story buildings and a "Monument to a crane" in front of a crane equipment plant.

Paisiev Monastery

On the outskirts of the city, on a hill with a beautiful view of the lake and the city, there is the Paisiev Monastery (14th century). Here the five-domed Uspensky Cathedral has been preserved (only one of the chapters has survived, it is being restored now), with a tent-type bell tower attached later. Near the severely destroyed Trinity Church

Uspensky Paisiev Monastery - the oldest in the territory of the Kostroma Region . The first mention of it dates back to the 14th century, at that time it was called Nikolaevsky and was located at the then city line . The architectural ensemble of the monastery was fully formed in the 17-19th centuries, and its oldest building is the Assumption Cathedral, which is now in effect . The Soviet authorities closed the monastery in 1919, part of the buildings began to be used for worldly needs, and some were dismantled, as unnecessary . In 1994, the monastery was renewed . The monastery is located in the village of Uspenskaya Sloboda, now part of the city of Galich .

Epiphany Church

The Bogoyavlenskaya Church of the Woods was built in the 17th century, in 1635 it was already mentioned in the documents, and the brick temple was built very long: in 1687 the lower church was illuminated, and the department of the upper church was completed only by 1710. During the Soviet era, the church avoided the sad fate of being destroyed, in 1982 the church returned to its original appearance, but the RIC was not transferred. Since 2001, archaeological excavations have been conducted around the church. The church is located at ul. Podobelskogo, 1, near the shopping arcade

Nikolayevsky Starotorgsky Monastery

The complex of buildings of the Nikolayev Starotorzhsky Monastery is located on the shores of Galichsky Lake . Originally the monastery was male, but from 1668 it was turned into a female . In 1838 It was decided to build a cathedral on its territory in the name of the Holy Trinity . This church was built for twenty years: its size was so great that the means of a modest monastery were clearly not enough, so the nuns collected donations literally throughout Russia . In 1936 the monastery was closed, in 1994 it was partially restored, but the restoration practically did not touch the cathedral: there was not enough money again . Nowadays it is completely free to enter the monastery grounds, as it is abandoned . The monastery is located at . Lunacharsky, 57-63 .

Sacred Russia - the city of Galich

Vasilievsky Monastery

The Summer Baroque Church of St. Basil the Great and the Winter Vvedensky Church form a temple complex that arose on the site of the Vasilyevsky Monastery, founded in the 17th century. In the 30s of the 20th century it was closed, partially destroyed, but since 1990 it has been restored. The works have not been finished so far

Galich Museum

Galich Museum of Local History has quite extensive collections. Here you can see clothes, dishes, interior items that were used by residents of the region in the 18-19 centuries. In addition, several museum halls are given to the paintings of contemporary artists. Address of the museum st. Lunacharsky, 11, opening hours from 9.00 to 17.00, every day except Friday

The city itself is picturesque, in its central part is preserved the old buildings: wooden and stone houses standing here perfectly convey the atmosphere typical for the late 18th - early 19th centuries . The ensemble of trading rows without exaggeration can be called a pearl of Galich civil architecture. It was led by one of the most talented Russian architects of his time, P. Fursov.

Events of Galich

Every year the ancient Galich hosts the All-Russian Film Festival of short films "Family of Russia". In addition, the Days of Remembrance of Alexei Feofilaktovich Pisemsky, the famous Russian writer, whose house can still be seen on one of the streets of Galich, are held annually
