Uglich Reservoir, Artificial lake in Yaroslavl Oblast and Tver Oblast, Russia
The Uglich Reservoir extends 143 kilometers along the Volga River with a surface area of 249 square kilometers and maximum depth of 23 meters.
The construction of this reservoir in 1939 led to the submergence of numerous historical structures, including the 15th-century Intercession monastery in Uglich.
The Kalyazin Bell Tower, rising 74.5 meters above the water, stands as a testament to the architectural heritage preserved despite the flooding.
The reservoir serves multiple functions including hydroelectric power generation, transportation routes, water supply, and seasonal flow regulation for the surrounding regions.
The Flooded Belfry emerges from the water as an isolated structure, hosting Orthodox Christian services several times throughout the year.
