Tutayev is a town in Yaroslavl Oblast
, Russia
. Population:
Before 1918, the settlement was called Romanov-Borisoglebsk , and before 1822, when an order of the Tsar united them, there were two separate towns: Romanov (on the right side of Volga River
) and Borisoglebsk (on the left side). Romanov has existed since the 14th century and Borisoglebsk—since the 15th century. In the 15th century, Romanov was ruled by the khans
of Nogay Horde.
The majority of the population lives on the right side of the river (the former Romanov). The areas of town nearest to the Volga's right bank have many old wooden houses and historical buildings (including the stunning Resurrection Cathedral), but further away from the river, Soviet-era apartment buildings predominate. There is no bridge across the Volga
in Tutayev, so people have to use a ferry or, alternatively, travel north to Rybinsk or south to Yaroslavl to cross.
The left side of the river has more churches: The Krestovozdvizhenskiy Cathedral (1658), the Kazan-Preobrazhenskiy Church (1758), the Savior-Archangel Church (1746-1751), the Pokrovskaya Church (1674), the Church of the "Trinity on the Country Churchyard" (1783), the Church of St. Tikhon (1911), the Blagoveschensk Church (1660), and the Leon'tevskaya-Voznesenskaya Church (1795). http://www.adm.yar.ru/power/mest/Tutayev/culttu/gt.htm/
