Vlitsy

Vlitsy was a pogost in the countryside north of Velikiye Luki. A chronicle mentions it in 1488, and a wooden church had already been built there in the fifteenth century. At the end of the eighteenth century the old church was replaced by a stone Church of the Transfiguration. The parish continued to serve the surrounding villages, and its church appears in the surviving records of the Velikiye Luki district in 1828.
