Kholmogory, Historic village in Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia.
The settlement extends along the left bank of the Northern Dvina River, occupying a strategic position 75 kilometers southeast of Arkhangelsk city.
The English Muscovy Company established Kholmogory as their primary fur trade center in 1554, transforming the settlement into a commercial northern outpost.
The local artisans maintain a centuries-old tradition of intricate carving techniques using walrus and mammoth tusks, producing detailed decorative items.
The village functions as the administrative center of Kholmogorsky District and maintains a pedigree stock farm specializing in cold-resistant cattle breeds.
The Kholmogory breed of cattle, created through selective breeding with Holstein-Friesians, produces high milk yields despite the northern Russian climate.
