Kubenskoye

Kubenskoye lies in the country of Lake Kubenskoye, where the rivers of the northern forest gather before flowing towards the Sukhona. The settlement was a centre of the Kubenskoye princely lands until the middle of the fifteenth century. On a rocky island in the lake stood the Spaso-Kamenny Monastery, an important landowner whose estates and fisheries tied religious life to the surrounding shores and river valleys.
