Church of St. George the Victorious
Currently, it is one of the largest Old Believer churches. In the mid-19th century, the temple was closed, and the Old Believers did not have their own church. And only at the beginning of 1882, the church was allowed to be visited again.
The stone temple was built in 1906. And in the 30s the church was desecrated and closed. The revival began in the 90s, and restoration continues to this day. The architecture of the temple combines modernity, antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Guslitsa River
It flows first in a northerly direction and then turns west. The parish was named after this river in the Middle Ages. The length is 36 kilometers. Guslitsa is interesting because it flows along mast pine forests and is a unique natural monument. In 2010, in order to save the river from final pollution, a sewer collector was completed. This helped save Guslitsa.

Holy Trinity Mariinsky Convent
This monastery is part of the Moscow diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church. The temple was built in 1883 at his own expense by the merchant and head of the city Bastrygin Nikifor Mikhailovich. His wife, Maria Vladimirovna, wanted to open a convent at the church, but a sudden illness prevented her from doing so. After the death of his wife, Nikifor Mikhailovich fulfills her dream. The name "Mariinsky" was given in honor of the memory of Maria Vladimirovna.
Under Soviet rule, the monastery was devastated and destroyed. The life of the monastery began again only in 2008.
Currently, the monastery has a Sunday school, where children are taught the Holy Scriptures and moral development. The sisters of the monastery are engaged in charitable activities and organize pilgrimage trips. The monastery also has a bakery that serves delicious bread. Divine services are held here daily.

Walk along the main street
On Sovetskaya Street, which stretches across the entire city, most of its attractions are located.
At its intersection with Profsoyuznaya Street there is a memorial in the form of a stone dedicated to the victims of political repression.
The further path runs to the square. It has the original basket installed.
She is a symbol of fertility
In the same park you can see the house of the merchant Kulakov, which houses the Historical Department of the Historical and Art Museum. The museum itself is located one block further in the beautiful 2-story mansion of the merchant Nikitin.
The central square of Yegoryevsk has the same name - Sovetskaya. Previously it was called Sobornaya. It was decorated with the majestic (for 5,000 people) Assumption Cathedral, built in 1839. Unfortunately, it was blown up in 1935. The formal reason is obstruction to traffic. Two shops are located in preserved shops.
As in most Russian cities, an invariable attribute of the central square is the monument to Lenin.
Its peculiarity is that it is very similar to the portrait of the original.
The perimeter of the square is occupied by buildings from the late 19th century. They housed shops. Bardygin's house is also located there.
In another park there is a monument to the liberating warrior.
On the main street there will also be a monument to D.I. Khludov, who distinguished himself by his charity. Churches and monasteries, shelters, and parochial schools were built with his donations, and not only in Yegoryevsk.
He had a house in Moscow, so he abandoned it. Gave it to an orphanage. In order not to depend on anyone, to manage his own funds independently, he left the family business - the Trading House, which he owned together with his brothers. He believed that it is better to engage in charity during life, rather than bequeathing your capital after death.
The meeting with the main temple of Yegoryevsk will take place at the intersection of two streets - Sovetskaya and Alexander Nevsky.
