Knyazhich Gorodok

Knyazhich Gorodok stood on the Sheksna, the river flowing from White Lake towards the Volga. The village and its parish lay among the river settlements that lined this important waterway. In 1826 parishioners built a stone Church of the Assumption with altars dedicated also to Metropolitan Peter and Saint Paraskeva. Its church gave a religious centre to the farms and villages of the surrounding river country.
