temples and churches

Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ

The largest building on the square is the former House of Culture, until the 1960s, the Resurrection Cathedral.

In 1820, the construction of a new stone cathedral began in Danilov. Its construction was completed in 1827 by the diligence of N. D. Potashin. The new stone church was soon rebuilt in 1839, receiving a dedication to the Resurrection of the Living. In this form, the summer temple existed until the middle of the 20th century, until it was rebuilt as a Cultural center.

In 1936-1939, the bell tower of the cathedral was adapted for a parachute tower. In 1961, after reconstruction and an additional extension, a cultural center with a widescreen sound cinema, a lecture hall, and rooms for amateur art groups was opened in the cathedral.

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.
