In the footsteps of the "noble nests"
"Mologskaya strana" was once the name of the lands of the Mologsky district of the Yaroslavl province. At one time, it was considered one of the most educated counties in Russia.
The Azanchevsky-Azancheyevs, Volkonskys, Glebovs, Kurakins, Konovnitsyns, Musin-Pushkins, Sokovnins, Vogels, Shchepochkins and many other famous figures of the country had their "rural" estates here. Nekouzsky district is rightfully considered the heir of the "Russian Atlantis of the XX century", most of the territory of the district was made up of the largest volosts of the former Mologsky district.
We suggest you follow in the footsteps of the "noble nests"!

It is small: a two-tiered bell tower, a small refectory, a rotunda. But the bell tower is very decorated with kokoshniks made in the neo-Russian style.
There is a version that the rotunda of the church in Kuzma-Demyan was planned by the Musins-Pushkins, the former owners. The project was developed by the architect Lviv. And only after the sale of the land by Sokovnin, they decided to turn the rotunda into a church, adding an altar and a bell tower.
