Gorokhovets, Medieval architectural site in Vladimir Region, Russia

The city stands on the right bank of the Klyazma River, featuring stone churches, wooden merchant houses, and traditional Russian architectural elements.

Grand Prince Andrey Bogolyubsky established Gorokhovets as a fortress in 1168 to strengthen defenses against invasions from Volga Bulgaria.

The Trinity-Nikolsky Monastery combines religious practices with architectural elements representing various periods of Russian Orthodox construction methods.

Visitors can reach Gorokhovets through regular train connections from Moscow to Vladimir, followed by a local bus service to the city center.

The settlement contains seventeen merchant houses from the 1700s, representing the largest collection of civil architecture from that period in Russia.
