The first mention of the city dates back to 1231. The city is located 110 km west of Moscow, there are not many sights there, perhaps the most interesting can be attributed only to the Mozhaisky Kremlin and the Luzhetsky Monastery.
The Mozhaisky Kremlin is unfortunately the stone fortress that was not preserved to this day, now the Nikolsky Cathedral is located at this place, more precisely, on the site of the Nikolsky gate of the Kremlin, which, during construction (1779-1812) partially included their walls. The cathedral is executed in a pseudo -Gothic style (Russian Gothic).



The Luzhetsky Monastier is located on the outskirts of the city on the banks of the Moscow River, from its walls a view of the village of Isavitsa opens, there are a couple of sources near the monastery. To one source is approached, but the water in it is terrible with a metal flavor. The second is located 200m from the monastery known as the holy source of the Monk Ferapont founded in 1408, the territory is well -maintained there, but that the photography is forbidden, the security is forbidden to monitor this very strictly, if they are noticed in a rude form, they ask to leave or offer to agree ...
In my opinion, the best view of the monastery opens from the dam (to the floor of the Iron Bridge, and on the floor of the river concrete dam), but not everyone is solved to step on this structure, the reliability of the iron bridge is very dubious, it all walks with a stilt, the railing is from one side and they are half torn off, and a seething stream below))))
