Uglich, Historic town on Volga River in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia
The town extends along both banks of the Volga River, featuring traditional Russian architecture and the prominent Church of St Demetrios at its center.
Originally established in 937, Uglich gained prominence as a principality before its annexation to Moscow in the 14th century through territorial negotiations.
The Church of St Demetrios marks the location where Prince Dmitry met his death in 1591, establishing Uglich as a center of Russian Orthodox heritage.
River cruise ships dock directly in the center of Uglich, providing convenient access to the main historical district and local markets.
The Uglich hydroelectric station, constructed in 1940, created a vast reservoir that transformed the surrounding landscape and local fishing traditions.
