Pskov Oblast

Pskov Oblast stretches from Lake Peipus on the Estonian frontier to the Belarusian borderlands, encompassing low plains, forests, and a dense network of lakes and rivers in northwestern Russia. The Velikaya River flows through Pskov, the regional capital. One of Russia’s oldest cities, Pskov is defined by the medieval Pskov Krom, or kremlin, beside the river; Trinity Cathedral remains its focal point. Across the oblast, fortified towns and Orthodox monasteries reflect Pskov’s long role on Russia’s western approaches. The Churches of the Pskov School of Architecture were inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2019.
