Palace of Andrei Bogolyubsky, Castle ruins at Bogolyubovo, Russia

The white stone palace includes a two-tier tower with a spiral staircase and a connecting gallery to the Cathedral of the Nativity.

Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky established this residence in 1158, living there for 17 years until his assassination by opposing nobles in 1174.

The preserved sections of the palace represent the only remaining civil architecture from pre-Mongol period Russia, displaying early medieval construction techniques.

The palace stands within the grounds of Bogolyubsky Monastery, located 10 kilometers from Vladimir along the Klyazma River banks.

The original stone walls featured decorative elements rather than defensive structures, demonstrating architectural priorities of 12th-century Russian nobility.
