Bishop's Court, Vologda, Religious architectural complex in Vologda, Russia.

The Bishop's Court forms part of the Vologda Kremlin, with gates, towers, and religious buildings spread across 2.3 hectares along the Vologda River bank.

During the 1560s, Tsar Ivan the Terrible initiated the construction of this stone fortress to establish Vologda as a major northern stronghold and residence.

The complex includes five religious structures, including Saint Sophia Cathedral and the Cathedral of Resurrection, which now function as both religious and cultural institutions.

The Vologda State Historical, Architectural and Art Museum-Reserve manages most buildings, offering visitors access to exhibitions and guided tours throughout the complex.

The bell tower reaches a height of 78.5 meters, making it a central architectural element that defines the vertical profile of the entire ensemble.
