Tikhvin, Religious center in Leningrad Oblast, Russia.
Located on both banks of the Tikhvinka River, Tikhvin stands 200 kilometers east of Saint Petersburg with the Dormition Cathedral rising at its center point.
The settlement emerged in 1383 when local inhabitants constructed a wooden Church of the Dormition, marking the beginning of its development as a trade center.
The Dormition Monastery houses the revered Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God, drawing Orthodox pilgrims from across Russia to this spiritual destination.
The railway station connects travelers to Saint Petersburg and Vologda, while multiple buses serve regional routes throughout Leningrad Oblast daily.
The birthplace of composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov contains a museum displaying his personal items and musical instruments in his former residence.
