Krasnoe-na-Volge
Красное-на-Волге
A traditional center of Russian silver and enamel craftsmanship, with a jewelry museum and a rare 16th-century tent-roofed church.
Krasnoe-na-Volge sits on the Volga about 35 km southeast of Kostroma. Since the Middle Ages it has been famous for silver filigree and enamel jewelry, and it remains one of Russia's largest jewelry-making centers. Visitors can explore the jewelry and folk crafts museum, join interactive jewelry workshops, and buy silver pieces at the factory shop. The village's 16th-century Epiphany tent-roofed church has an unusual design. Half a day is enough to see the highlights, and you can reach it by long-distance bus or by car.
