Bogolyubovo was founded between 1158 and 1165 at the mouth of the Nerl River on the spot where Andrei Bogolyubsky saw a miraculous vision of the Virgin Mary. On that spot, the Church of the Intercession on the Nerl (1165) was built which is considered a real masterpiece of the ancient Russian architecture. It is located in a large, flat valley formed by the meandering Nerl river. The cathedral must be approached on foot, making the journey something like a pilgrimmage. The church is located on a small hill right next to the river. In the spring, the river rises and cuts the church off, sometimes making the church completely inaccessible by land (and making a breathtaking view).
