Korovniki Ensemble
Ансамбль в Коровниках
A group of 17th-century churches on the Volga riverbank, with a 38-meter tent-roofed bell tower known as the 'Candle of Yaroslavl.'
The Korovniki Ensemble stands on the Volga riverbank across the Kotorosl River. It includes the Church of St John Chrysostom (1649–1654), the winter Church of the Virgin of Vladimir, and a tent-roofed bell tower about 38 meters tall. Because the bell tower is slender and tall, it is called the 'Candle of Yaroslavl.' The tile decoration and window surrounds on the red-brick walls are finely crafted. It is visible from Strelka across the river and is about 2 km away on foot. Interior opening hours are irregular.
