Mozhaisk

Mozhaisk has served as a fortified western outpost of the Moscow lands in Moscow Oblast since the 13th century. Set on the Moskva River, the town developed around a Kremlin whose earthen ramparts still trace its medieval core. The Cathedral of St Nicholas, standing on the Kremlin hill, is Mozhaisk’s defining monument and an unusual example of Russian Gothic Revival architecture. Its position on the routes west of Moscow repeatedly gave the town strategic importance, while the Mozhaisk Reservoir nearby broadens the river into a major regional waterway.
