Воскресенский собор (Тутаев)
A 17th-century cathedral on the banks of the Volga, with richly decorated exterior walls and a large Savior icon about 3 meters tall inside.
Tutayev, formerly known as Romanov-Borisoglebsk, is a small town on both banks of the Volga, about 35 km northwest of Yaroslavl. The Resurrection Cathedral was built between 1652 and 1678 on high ground above the river. Its exterior is decorated with colorful tiles and stone carvings. Inside, the wall paintings are intact, and the cathedral houses a large image of the Savior, about 3 meters tall. The town retains many wooden houses and old streets. In summer, you can cross the river by ferry. It is about a 1-hour bus ride from Yaroslavl and can be seen in half a day.
