Category: Sights

The first mention of a city with the name Yelets is found in the chronicles of 1146. The city is used as a fortified point to protect the population from the Cumans. The name of the city comes from the Russian word “elets”, which is interpreted as a spruce grove or thicket. Today, Yelets is part of the Lipetsk region and is its cultural center. This city has about 226 cultural and historical attractions, 90 of them are monuments of federal significance.

Where is Yelets

Yelets was repeatedly attacked by the Golden Horde. Therefore, by decree of Fyodor Ivanovich, the construction of a new fortress city began in 1591. Under Peter the Great, Yelets radically changed its attitude towards certain areas several times, but ultimately the Yelets district was formed.

After the attack and destruction by the Tatars in 1769, the city was subject to fire, which did not even spare the surrounding settlements. Before construction began, it was decided to radically change the appearance and layout of the city; now it no longer acted as a fortress.

In modern days, it is possible to precisely limit the lands on which Yelets is located. It is located on the Central Russian Upland, on the coast of Bystraya Sosna. The exact height above sea level is impossible to determine due to the hilly surface.

The length from north to south is 9.5 km, and from west to east 12 km. Yelets belongs to the Lipetsk region, it is a city of regional subordination and forms an urban district. The distance to the regional center is 78 km. For those who want to come and enjoy the city's attractions, there are several transportation options.


Yelets on the map of Russia

A car - in the modern world, is considered one of the fastest and most convenient means of transportation.For residents of the northern regions of Russia, the route passes along the M4 Don highway.
Those coming from the south will have to travel along the P-115 highway, and then P-119.
Residents of the western regions will have a direct route along the P-119 road.
RailwayOption for particularly remote areas. And also a guarantee of safety on the road and increased comfort of movement. The disadvantages include the relatively high cost of tickets.
BusIt is worth understanding that not all cities have buses to the small but glorious Yelets. This method is convenient to use for residents of Lipetsk and neighboring regions

City clock tower

The clock tower, quite logically named because of the huge chimes installed on it, was built in 1870. Initially, it was purely water-pressure and did not serve any other (especially decorative) purpose. The clock on the tower appeared already under Soviet rule: its installation began in 1973 and was completed in 1975.


City clock tower

The chimes sound a simple but pleasant melody every quarter of an hour during the day and every hour at night. Unlike European landmarks (and some of them the Clock Tower is not inferior in either elegance or complexity of architecture), the building is not illuminated. A traveler can inspect the structure, marvel at the filigree masonry and appreciate the high, almost Gothic window openings only during daylight hours - so a trip to the tower should be planned for the morning or afternoon. You cannot go inside the tower. This is for the better: the tourist will have more time to explore the next city attraction - the Museum of Local Lore.

City Clock Tower - how to get to the place and how much to pay for entrance:

  • address: Lenin Square (intersection of Sovetskaya and Sverdlov streets);
  • travel: by public transport, taxi or car;
  • visiting hours: around the clock;
  • Entry fee: not required.

Weather in Yelets, best time to travel

The sights of Yelets can be seen at any time of the year, but for comfort and greater opportunities, travel agencies offer to organize extensive excursions in the summer.

The city is located in a temperate continental climate, with warm summers and moderate snowy winters. The temperature and weather in Yelets directly depend on the winds; in a matter of days it can change dramatically.

Dry periods can often be seen in the summer and brief arctic temperatures in the winter. Winter begins in November and lasts until early March. The city is not prone to large amounts of rainfall. Maximum humidity is reached in May. The average summer temperature is +30°C, in winter – 20°C.

Church of the Yelets Icon of the Mother of God

This attraction has no analogues in Yelets and is a prototype of an ancient Russian temple of the 16-17 centuries. The church has five domes and six altars. At the same time, there is no traditional refectory and asp. The bell tower has a height of 53.5 m. The temple was consecrated in 1915. After the revolution of 1917 and until 1991, the temple was gradually destroyed and was used for a long time for purposes other than its intended purpose. In 1995, the church was completely restored.

Religious buildings in Yelets

Yelets, whose attractions include magnificent temples and churches, can be visited by both Christians and representatives of other faiths. Travel agencies call the city nothing less than the city of 33 temples. It is quite difficult to list and visit them all, so the most famous and significant ones are presented.

Ascension Cathedral

The Ascension Cathedral is one of the largest churches in Russia; it is also the hallmark of Yelets, the main cathedral of the city. Located on Red Square, in the heart of Yelets.

Historians believe that the Ascension Cathedral took about 44 years to build, and construction began in 1845. It is known from sources that before that, an equally majestic Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was located on this site. The Ascension Cathedral is striking in its size: its height is 74 m, its width is 34 m, and its length reaches 84 m.

K.A Ton was chosen as the chief architect. Three popular styles of that time were used in construction: Byzantine, Russian and classicism. The cathedral contains three halls: lower, winter and summer. But special attention of all visitors is drawn to the iconostasis, the design of which was entrusted to the architect A.S. Kaminsky. It has three levels and carved ornaments.

The cathedral is an interesting place not only for believers, but also for connoisseurs of beauty; it has more than 220 paintings, made in various styles, created by artists - Lebedev and Korzukhin.

With the advent of Soviet power, the cathedral was looted, the gilding was erased, and the premises began to be used for storing grain crops. After the Great Patriotic War, the cathedral was restored. And it is in this form that it exists at the moment.

Grand Ducal Church

The Grand Ducal Church is located near the center of Yelets, on Sovetskaya Street 90. The majestic and beautiful building was founded on the initiative of the merchant A.N. Zausailov, a resident of Yelets. The illumination of the church took place in 1911 and was dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the reign of the Romanov dynasty.

Wilfahrt was appointed chief architect. For a long time they could not decide on a name for the temple under construction, but in the end it was dedicated to two Grand Dukes: Tver and Nevsky.

The church is significantly different from all those presented in the city, as it has a bright colorful coloring, is richly and elegantly decorated, and is based on three famous styles of that time: Art Nouveau, Byzantine and Neo-Russian. The interior decoration is not inferior to the external grandeur: carved furniture and an unusual ceramic iconostasis, and unusual stained glass windows complete the picture.

The church was progressive for its day, and water and electricity were installed during construction. Under the USSR, like many other religious buildings, the church was closed and a museum with an anti-religious direction was located in it, and then a warehouse was completely equipped.

Restoration of the temple began in the 90s of the last century.

Znamensky Convent

The monastery is located on Kamennaya Gora, on Slobodskaya Street 2a, which is located near the Elchik River. The monastery has an amazing history, and its foundation goes back to the 17th century; it was not built, but only radically changed the purpose of the Trinity Monastery, changing it to a women's monastery.

At the beginning of the 18th century, the monastery was burned to the ground, the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos “of the Sign” survived, and 9 years later the monastery was rebuilt, changing only its name.

Residents of the city independently erected new buildings on an illegal basis, and then visited them; only in 1822 they managed to convince the tsar to light the monastery. After this, construction work on the territory of the complex did not stop; it continued until the middle of the 19th century. At the beginning of the last century, the monastery consisted of about 150 buildings, inhabited by 400 nuns.

When the socialists came to power, the monastery was looted and closed, the residents had to move from their home , many of them were imprisoned and executed. In 1937, the Znamensky Monastery was completely destroyed. And only in 2004, by decree of the bishop, restoration work began, and in 2006, the main temple named after St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was built.

Church of Michael the Wonderworker

The temple is located at the intersection of Oktyabrskaya and Sverdlova streets. It cannot be attributed to any architectural style, since during its existence it was rebuilt several times. The most ancient element in the complex is the bell tower; the construction dates back to 1788. The refectory was completed in 1828, and the temple itself was rebuilt over the course of 15 years from 1845.

In 1930, the temple was closed and used for food storage. Over the years, the building was subject to destruction. Only in 2021, the church was transferred to the Ascension Cathedral and restoration work began. In a short time, the temple was restored and already on May 1 of the same year, the first service dedicated to Easter was held.

Znamensky Monastery

In the city on the top of Kamennaya Mountain, according to legend, it was on this peak that the fortress around which the city of Yelets grew was founded, on the site of a secluded residence of monks (monastery) in 1683 the Znamensky Church was erected.

After some time, the temple building and the adjacent living quarters for the monks were transformed into a nunnery. The opening of the convent took place in 1822 . By this time, administrative buildings appeared on the territory of the monastery, as well as a bathhouse at the holy spring.

In the period 1917-2003 the monastery was closed. In 2004, the monastery convent was reopened and from that moment restoration work began, thanks to which the monastery acquired its original appearance.

Address: Slobodskaya street-2A.

Museums of Yelets

Yelets, whose sights are represented by an ensemble of museums dedicated to the great people and trades of the city, is of federal cultural and historical value.

Museum of Local Lore

The local history museum was created in 1901 on the initiative of local residents with the support of Mikhail Prishvin, who sponsored and donated personal belongings of their ancestors to it.

At the moment, the museum is considered one of the main attractions of the city.

The revolution left its mark on the museum and in 1919 it was thoroughly looted. But after 3 years, with the support of the authorities and residents, it resumed its work again, and began to be called the “Proletarian Museum”.

With the onset of the war, all exhibits were preserved and evacuated, and a year after the end they were returned to the museum. After the collapse of the USSR, the museum was renamed the “City Museum of Local Lore”. This place is interesting for residents and guests of Yelets.

For those who wish to visit the museum, it is located at Lenin Street, building 102. Educated and qualified guides will present detailed and very interesting information about their native land, for a nominal fee of about 100 rubles.

Museum of Folk Crafts and Crafts

In 2007, the government of the Russian Federation began to think about the preservation and development of the fisheries of their descendants. Therefore, a museum of crafts and trades, famous throughout the region, was created in Yelets. It was located in a building that belonged to the merchant Zausailov, the owner of a tobacco factory. It was built of red brick in Art Nouveau style.

The museum aims to develop and preserve the activities of our ancestors, who were famous for pottery and lace making.

The main composition halls are:

  1. Hall of Yeletsky lace.
  2. Beadwork Hall.
  3. Patchwork hall.

Anyone can visit the museum at the address: Lenin Street, building 68. Attentive caretakers will demonstrate not only the exhibits, but also the technologies for their creation; the ticket costs 100 rubles.

Museum I.A. Bunina

There is only one museum in Russia dedicated to the life and work of the great Russian writer, Nobel Prize winner I.A. Bunin and it is located in Yelets. The initiative to create the museum was submitted by local residents back in 1968. For a long time they could not determine the location, since the poet repeatedly changed his place of residence.

The museum is located on Maxim Gorky Street, building 16. Inside, the room that Bunin rented was restored. The rest of the building was filled with the poet’s personal belongings and manuscripts. Anyone can visit the museum.

House-Museum of N. N. Zhukov

The memorial house of the famous artist and writer N. N. Zhukov is a small log house with beautiful platbands and miniature windows. It was in Yelets that Zhukov spent his childhood and youth. Within the walls of this attraction, authentic things, photographs, household items, books, drawings and other valuable exhibits belonging to N. N. Zhukov and his family have been preserved. The house museum was opened to visitors in 1992 and today is a branch of the local history museum.

Residents of the city claim that the sculpture is especially wonderful in spring and summer, when it is surrounded by greenery.

Memorial sign in honor of the 850th anniversary of Yelets

In 1996, Yelets celebrated the 850th anniversary of the founding of the city; in honor of this, a sign was installed on Red Square, it was created according to the design of the architect Shishin. A symbolic place was chosen to install the pedestal; previously it was the location of the city’s main cathedral.

According to the creator’s idea, the sign is intended to personify the spirit of all the eras that the city has passed through. In 2010, the monument was supplemented with a dome and a cross, and restoration work was also carried out.

Ascension Cathedral

The visiting card of the city of Yelets is the Ascension Cathedral, the construction of which is believed to have begun in 1845. According to historical documents, it is known that on the site of the built Orthodox cathedral, which took 44 years to build, there was the Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. The city was upset and because of the small size of the cathedral, which could no longer accommodate those who wanted to, the cathedral was dismantled and in its place according to the design of the architect K.A. Ton, the Ascension Cathedral was built, which has survived to this day.

Now the cathedral is functioning for its intended purpose. Tourists can visit this temple structure and view the 220 wall paintings inside the cathedral .

Address: Red Square-1.

Architectural structures

Yelets, whose sights are included in the list of architectural heritage of the region and the Russian Federation, is open to tourists at any time of the year. The city has preserved a large number of historical buildings that help tourists feel the spirit of past years.

Karakum Bridge

The bridge connected the banks of the Bystraya Sosna River. Built at the beginning of the last century, it was repeatedly destroyed and in the 80s, traffic was stopped and it began to be used for pedestrian purposes. After 10 years, it was completely closed and recognized as an emergency structure.

In 2005, a long and significant reconstruction was carried out, thanks to which the bridge again became operational for pedestrian purposes.

Taldykin's estate

The building is located on the river bank. Part of it was destroyed during the Great Patriotic War. The brick frame was preserved, so restoration work was carried out and the estate became a recreation center, due to the picturesque places and clean air. At the moment, the building is privately owned and visits are prohibited.

City clock tower

The architectural monument is located at the intersection of two streets: Sverdlova and Sovetskaya. The tower was originally used as a water tower, but in 1970 a clock was installed on it, after which it radically changed its purpose and became a decorative element. The chimes strike every 15 minutes.

Chapel in memory of Alexander II

The chapel in memory of the Tsar from the Romanov dynasty, who died in 1881 as a result of an assassination attempt, is located in the central part of the city.

The construction of the chapel dates back to 1882. The temple building was built under the craft council and was a small building made of stone and brick. In 1902, the craft council was closed and after some time services were stopped in the chapel.

In 1909, the chapel was transferred to the religious-political organization “Union of Orthodox Banner Bearers”, which began construction of the Grand Ducal Church and the chapel was to become an extension in front of the entrance to the temple.

During Soviet times, the chapel was used as city warehouses. In the 1990s, the chapel was restored. Its former appearance in the form of a royal crown was restored.

Grand Ducal Church

To make the work of the builders easier, a huge tent was built near the temple: people could warm themselves in it during breaks between laying bricks and preparing mortar. Thanks to the merchant’s care, the church, popularly called the Grand Ducal Church, was completed in just a year and a half - an undoubted record not only for the last century, but also for the present time.

Construction ended at the end of 1910; The temple was consecrated at the beginning of 1911. The main shrine that belonged to the church at that time was a huge crystal cross above the central dome. Immediately after the October Revolution, it was removed and hidden on the territory of the temple, and in 1991, after restoration work began, it was installed in its original place.
