Church of the Tolga Icon of the Mother of God

The Church of Our Lady of Tolga was built in 1762-1767. The temple has mixed features of Baroque and Ancient Russian architecture. The church has changed little since its construction. The interior has preserved an iconostasis and a late wall painting.

There is a burial place of the Rostov fool John Vlasaty in the temple. This place is marked by a tombstone in the form of a shrine and a carved pedestal.

The main attraction of the Yaroslavl region is a constellation of 12 ancient cities: Yaroslavl, Gavrilov-Yam, Danilov, Lyubim, Myshkin, Pereslavl-Zalessky, Poshekhonye, Rostov the Great, Rybinsk, Tutaev, Uglich and the flooded Mologa. Each of them has its own unique appearance and atmosphere.
