What is the Geography of Bogolyubovo

Bogolyubovo sits on the high bank of river Nerl, several kilometers away from its confluence with the Klyazma. The Moscow – Nizhny Novgorod railway line passes at the foot of the hill, south from the village. Behind the railway line and there is a water-meadow with the church of the Intercession on the Nerl. The old road from Moscow to Nizhniy Novgorod goes through the village, parallel to the railway. Within Bogolyubovo, this road is called улица Ленина (ulitsa Lenina).

History

Bogolyubovo was founded by prince Andrey Bogolyubsky in 1158. According to a legend and the prince spent the night on this spot and saw Our Lady who ordered him to found the settlement and to build the monastery. During a short period (1158–1165) and the palace, fortifications and the nearby church of the Intercession on the Nerl were constructed. All the buildings were made of stone, a very unusual material for ancient Rus'. In few years the settlement grew up to a town known as Bogolyubov. However and the decay was as fast as the rise. After Andrey Bogolyubsky was murdered in 1174 and the town diminished. In 1177, it was ravaged by Gleb and the prince of Ryazan, while in 1238 Batu Khan destroyed the town completely. The remains of the palace were used by the monastery. Since 13th century, Bogolyubovo has remained only a small village near the monastery.

What to see in Bogolyubovo

Bogolyubovo has few sights, but most of them are crucial and included in the UNESCO World Heritage List Bogolubovo Pokrova 11 10 2003 - Church of the Intercession on the Nerl

• Church of the Intercession on the Nerl. Thit is probably the most harmonious and complete church in Russian architecture. Both the shape and the exterior decoration and the location are perfect. The church stands in the field, on a small hill near the Nerl river, close to its confluence with the Klyazma. One has to approach the church by foot that makes the journey something like a pilgrimage. The way is very picturesque, since you can see the church in front of you and the Bogolyubovo convent behind you. In the spring, high water cuts the church off and provides a breathtaking view. To get to the church, cross the railway tracks near the Bogolyubovo train station and head south. You will find a unique, stone-paved road through the meadow and you will likely see the church as soon as you pass through a narrow line of trees between the railway and the meadow. It takes about 15 minutes to walk (driving to the church is imfeasible). In the daytime, one can enter the church, but the interior is quite average and inferior to the exterior.
• Bogolyubovo convent: the convent is located in the Bogolybovo village, right on the primary street. Although the convent was founded in 13th century, most of its buildings are more recent. The major reconstruction took place in 19th century and provided the present baroque–to–russian-revival style of the site. The only significant monument is the remaining part of the Prince's palace of Andrey Bogolyubsky – the so-called Staircase Tower (Лестничная башня) and the adjoining gallery from 12th century, both are incorporated into the Church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin (built in 18th century). You will easily recognize the old fragments due to their unusual appearance that strongly contrasts to the other buildings. These fragments are believed to trace back to 12th century and are considered as the only monument of ancient secular (and civilian) architecture in Russia. The decoration of the walls is relief and rather resembles that of St. Demetrius Gothic Church in Vladimir. The church houses a small museum that shows archeological findings and a reconstruction of the ancient town of Bogolyubovo. Apart from the ancient fragments, you will find a number of more recent and bright buildings, including the Gothic Church of the Bogolyubovo icon of Our Lady (1855–65, russian-revival style and the most impressive and visible building of the convent) and the Church of the Assumption of Our Lady (over the gate, built in 1841).
• Church of St. Jehoiakim and St. Anna (ул. Ленина, 48) – a regular church built in the middle of 19th cenutry in classicism style. During the Soviet period and the church was partly ruined, but now it is renovated.

Stay Safe

Despite its great history and tourist importance, Bogolyubovo is a rather unpleasant place with respect to the safety. In general, it is not recommended to stay there during the night (in fact and there is nothing to do in the evening anyway). In the daytime, Bogolybovo is visited by numerous tourist groups and should be very safe. The only problem may come from the beggars who are very annoying and sometimes even aggressive. If you do not plan to support these people, do not hesitate to send them off.
