What to see in Yakhroma: the best attractions of the city and surrounding area

Yakhroma is a town near Moscow, located on the river of the same name and the Moscow canal. The name of the city comes from the Finnish word "jahr", which means "lake". Initially, there was a settlement of Finno-Ugric tribes here.

The history of modern Yakhroma begins in 1841, when a cloth factory was built on this territory. A workers' settlement was formed at this factory, which received city status in 1901. During the Second World War, a grandiose battle took place here, during which the city came into the possession of either the Germans or Soviet soldiers. Currently, the city is famous for its ski resorts and historical and religious monuments.

Church of the Ascension in Peremilovo

This is the first shrine built in the village of Peremilovo, which is now part of the city of Yakhroma. The church was built in the middle of the 16th century in honor of Archangel Michael. However, in the 40s of the next century, the temple underwent reconstruction and was consecrated in honor of the Ascension of the Lord.

In 1792, when Stepan Apraksin became the owner of the cathedral, the shrine was rebuilt again. Now it has become not wooden, but stone. The temple has the appearance of a four-pillar building with one dome, made in a classical style with pseudo-Gothic elements.

Location: Peremilovskaya street - 93.

Trinity Church

The cathedral was built at the end of the 19th century with the money of the manufacturer from Moscow Ivan Artemyevich Lyamin. The construction of the shrine lasted about 3 years, and on the day of its opening, a sumptuous lunch was given to factory workers and local residents.

The temple made an indelible impression on everyone with its size, since it was designed for 4 thousand people, and the fact that, standing on a hill, it towered above all other city buildings. During the Soviet era, the church was closed and turned into a warehouse, and during the Second World War, a hospital was located in its basement. Since the 90s of the last century, the temple has been operating again, and a Sunday school has been opened there.

Location: Konyarova street.

Church of the Intercession

Construction of the church began at the end of the 17th century, however, it was suspended due to the invasion of Napoleon Bonaparte. After the end of the war, the construction of the shrine continued and lasted about 20 years. The church was built in a classical style from stone and brick, on top of which there is plaster.

During Soviet times, the church was looted and its clergy were shot. The temple reopened in the 90s of the last century, restoration work was carried out and is now open to parishioners.

Monument to the Soviet soldier on Peremilovskaya Heights

Peremilovskaya Height is the place where during the Great Patriotic War fierce battles between Soviet soldiers and the Nazi invaders took place. In 1966, one of the most significant monuments to a Soviet soldier in the entire Moscow region was erected here.

The thirteen-meter sculpture, made of bronze, depicts the figure of a soldier who rushes to attack. In his left hand, raised above his head, he holds a machine gun. The monument is installed on a pedestal 15 m high. Poems dedicated to the battles in this territory are carved on the pedestal.

Etymology[ | ]

The name “Yakhroma” comes from the name of the river of the same name. Hydronym Yakhroma

translated from the extinct Meryan language as “lake river” (cf. Finnish järvi “lake”).
Toponymy with the stem yakhr-
(
Yakhrobol, Yakhra, Yakhrenga, Yakhryanka
) is characteristic of the historical Meryan lands, which include the east of the Tver region, where the river of the same name flows[3].

There are anecdotal versions about the origin of the name, which belong to the number of toponymic legends: “the name of the Yakhroma River, on which Dmitrov is located, was explained in this way: the Grand Duchess, who came to the site of the city of Dmitrov with Prince Vsevolod, allegedly stumbled, getting out of the cart, and shouted: “I’m lame”[4].

Gateway No. 3

It is located on the Moscow Canal and is decorated with pilasters, columns and porticoes. However, the main distinguishing feature of this attraction is its two towers, which were installed in the 30s of the last century.

These towers are topped with Santa Maria caravels made of bright red copper. "Santa Maria" is a ship that belonged to Christopher Columbus himself. During the Second World War the gateway was slightly damaged, however, it was later restored. These caravels are also depicted on the city's coat of arms.
