Poshekhonye, Administrative town in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia
Located on the Sogozha River, Poshekhonye extends through a northern territory of Yaroslavl Oblast, 151 kilometers from the regional capital.
Initially established as the village of Pertoma in the 17th century, the settlement received official town status from Catherine the Great in 1777.
The Holy Trinity Cathedral, constructed in 1717, displays traditional Russian architectural elements with its four-tiered bell tower designed by Constantine Thon.
The town center contains merchant houses, trading rows from the 1830s, and a bus station providing regular connections to Yaroslavl throughout the day.
Poshekhonye achieved recognition through its namesake cheese production and its depiction in Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin's literature about provincial Russian life.
