Other places

Spassky Hill in Vladimir owes its name to the Church of the Savior, founded in the 12th century at the court of Prince Andrey Bogolyubsky. After the fire of 1778 the present Spaso-Preobrazhenskaya Church was built in its place. Since the middle of the 17th century a small Nikolskaya Church has been preserved.

From the Spassky Hill one can go down to the Patriarchal Garden, where former high-ranking servants of the church used to have a rest. The garden is at least 400 years old. Here age-old lime trees, famous Vladimir cherry trees, apple trees and unusual for these places, walnut, cedar and almonds grow. When flowering, the garden becomes a favorite place for photography. During the reconstruction in 2016 a height difference of 33 meters was used to create a cascade of fountains. There is a brick water tower of 1912 on the hill. In 1975 the exhibition "Old Vladimir" was opened inside. Its purpose is to show the life of the townspeople of the 19th and 20th centuries. The interiors of a living room, a tavern, a shop, as well as scenes from the life of merchants and officials have been recreated. The exposition also tells about the innovations of the past centuries: the first water pipe, power station and fire protection. The exhibition on the third floor is dedicated to monasteries and gymnasiums. The best view of Vladimir opens from the fourth floor.
