Vyatskoe village

Yaroslavl region

The old merchant village of Vyatskoe is situated in Nekrasovsky district - one of the most environmentally friendly and historically significant areas of Yaroslavl region, 30 kilometres away from Yaroslavl city by Lyubimskaya Road, and 300 kilometres away from Moscow. The fascinating history of these places, favourable geographical location, richest natural resources make this region an attractive land for tourists. The surprising beauty of the nature of central Russian plain with a web of rivers and lakes (of which there are 38 here), with expanses that please an eye in any season of the year, with soft climate - all this make these places interesting to study in summer and winter alike.

Vyatskoe village is a unique town-planning complex of 18th to 19th centuries with over 50 registered architectural monuments, which in the past were merchant and peasant houses, tea and public houses, poorhouses. The basis of Vyatskoe's historical and cultural heritage is primarily the planning structure of the village which almost completely dates to 18th century. Today over 30 cultural and historical heritage monuments have been restored in the village, which have been filled with new functional purpose. Vyatskoe village turned into a modern Historical and Cultural Complex (HCC) with ten museums, three hotels, a restaurant, the Cinema and Concert Hall and with the relevant tourist infrastructure. Each facility reflects unique specific features of the region, the originality and richness of local culture.
