Part two . About White stone temples (UNESCO) in the Vladimir region.

2012 Assumption Cathedral of Vladimir . The Assumption Church was built by decree of Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky in 1157-1160 on the highest hill of the city of Vladimir. The temple towers over the Klyazma River like a ship. The temple was built above the Temple of St. Sophia of Kiev, as originally intended.

2012 Golden Gate (Vladimir). A monument of ancient Russian architecture, located in the city of Vladimir. They were built in 1164 under Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky of Vladimir, who moved the capital of the principality to Vladimir from Suzdal. The Golden Gate was used as a defensive structure and as a triumphal arch. They decorated the main entrance to the richest princely boyar part of the city (New Town)

2012 The Nativity Cathedral (Suzdal). The Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is an Orthodox church in the city of Suzdal, Vladimir region, on the territory of the Suzdal Kremlin. It was built of white stone at the beginning of the XIII century. The upper part was rebuilt from brick in 1528-1530. One of the architectural monuments of the Vladimir-Suzdal Principality, recognized as a World Heritage Site.

2012 Boris and Gleb Church (Kideksha village). The Church of Boris and Gleb, an Orthodox church built during the reign of Yuri Dolgoruky in the village of Kidekshe in the Suzdal district of the Vladimir region, is a monument of white stone architecture of Ancient Russia and a UNESCO cultural heritage site. Presumably the temple was built in 1152, the date of the beginning of construction is unknown. Currently, there are no church services in the temple, it is open as a museum.

2012 The former palace of Prince Bogolyubsky (Bogolyubovo settlement). Bogolyubovo, the former residence of Prince Andrey Yuryevich of Vladimir, is located 10 kilometers from Vladimir. Legend tells that the prince was returning from Kiev to his patrimony, but the horses harnessed to a cart with a miraculous image of the Mother of God suddenly stopped, and no force could force them to move on. And at night, the Virgin herself appeared to the fervently praying prince. From 1158 to 1165, at the behest of Prince Andrew, a white stone city with a residential palace and a church, a fortress with earthen ramparts and stone walls was built on the memorial site. Some of the buildings have been preserved to this day.
