Mozhaysk, Administrative center in Moscow Oblast, Russia
Located 110 kilometers west of Moscow, Mozhaysk stands on elevated bluffs where the Mozhaika and Moscow Rivers intersect at 210 meters elevation.
First documented in 1231, Mozhaysk developed as a defensive stronghold against invasions, particularly during the Mongol incursions and later conflicts with Lithuania.
The Cathedral of St. Nicholas, constructed between 1802 and 1814, contains a notable wooden statue from the 14th century representing Saint Nicholas.
Regular transport connections link Mozhaysk with Moscow and surrounding regions, making it accessible for visitors interested in exploring historical Russian architecture.
The Treaty of Mozhaysk, signed between Denmark and Russia in 1562 during the Livonian War, marked a significant diplomatic event in the region.
