The famous house-museum of A.F. Mozhaisky is a two-story wooden house, barely visible in the thick of trees. The history of this house is closely connected with the name of Mozhaisky Alexander Fedorovich - a famous design engineer who worked and lived here from 1861 to 1868. The estate went to Alexander Fedorovich as a dowry after his wife Lyubov Dmitrieva - the daughter of the local court adviser Kuzmin D.I. Mozhaisky's wife was considered a very educated and interesting woman, whom many noble men wooed, but she preferred to choose Alexander Fedorovich.

The Church of St. Alexander Nevsky is located on the right bank of the Vologda River, not far from the Cathedral of the Resurrection Cathedral, southeast of the Bishops' House. Previously, the church was named in honor of Nicholas the Wonderworker, but in 1869 it was renamed the Church of the Holy Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky. The place for the construction of the temple was very well chosen - the temple perfectly complements the cathedral panorama from the side of the Vologda River. The territorial zone in which the church is located, in earlier times was called the "Known Mountain" and was a lime mound.

It’s on a misty morning that I continue my exploration 112 miles (180 km) further north from Yaroslav in the districts of Vologda, a city famous for its butter and lace.
