Mozhaysk Kremlin, Medieval fortress in Mozhaysk, Russia
The stone kremlin stands on elevated terrain overlooking the Mozhay River, featuring thick defensive walls and strategic watchtowers from the 17th century.
Prince Dmitri Pozharsky ordered the construction of a stone kremlin in 1624 to replace the previous wooden fortification that protected Mozhaysk from invaders.
The kremlin contains the Saint Nicholas Cathedral, where a wooden statue of Saint Nicholas brandishing a sword represents the guardian of Mozhaysk.
Visitors can reach the kremlin by taking a two-hour train ride from Moscow Belorussky station to Mozhaysk, followed by a local bus to the fortress.
During the 14th century Mongol siege, residents reported seeing Saint Nicholas appear in the sky above the kremlin, leading to the creation of specific religious imagery.
