Detailed map of Lyubim - streets, house numbers, districts. The road from Yaroslavl to Lyubim More about the streets of Lyubim on the map

Lyubim is one of the smallest towns in the Yaroslavl region. However, it has an old and quite interesting history.

Located in the northeast of the Yaroslavl region, near the Obnor and Ucha rivers. The name of the city comes from the name Lyubim, which was very common in Russia in the 15th – 16th centuries.

There is a legend according to which this name is associated with Ivan the Terrible’s commitment to hunting, as a result of which the Russian Tsar loved the local forests, rich in game. According to other legends, Ivan IV went falconry in the forest on the right bank of the Obnora, still called Sokoleny.

The city itself arose in the first half of the sixteenth century, initially created as a fortress to protect against attacks by the Kazan Tatars. It entered the top hundred cities of Russia as a result of Elena Glinskaya’s program to strengthen the country’s defense and develop trade. The year 1777 brought Lyubim the status of a district center. The city's coat of arms, approved on June 20, 1778, is a shield topped with a crown and divided transversely into silver and green fields, from the latter rises a bear with an ax on his shoulder. The official text of the description of the coat of arms is as follows: “The shield is divided in half: from a green field, divided into several parts by black, a bear emerges, in a silver field, proving that this city belongs to the Yaroslavl governorship.”

Lyubim is a unique relic of ancient times. An earthen rampart and a ditch - these were the fortifications that made up his Kremlin. The radial arrangement of streets, typical of the first hundred ancient cities of Rus', also allows you to touch the life of past centuries.


Cathedral of the Epiphany

Consists of two churches: Epiphany, 1798 and Vozdvizhenskaya, 1825. A stone single-domed cathedral with a free-standing hipped bell tower. Built in 1789 at the expense of parishioners. Before him, the first wooden churches of Lyubim stood on this site.

The cathedral stands proudly among the remains of ancient embankments. The four-pillar table, which previously served as a winter church with a throne in the name of the icon of the Feodorovskaya Mother of God, is connected to the pillarless quadrangle through a high arch in the western wall. In front of the facade of the refectory there is a bell tower 35 meters high, consisting of an octagonal pillar ending in a tent, with a monumental cubic base below.

From the bell ringer's platform there is an amazing view of the valleys of the Obnora and Ucha rivers; a chain of Lyubimskie churches is visually built.

Address: Lyubim, st. Trefoleva.

Lyubimsky Museum of Local Lore

The Lyubimsky Museum of Local Lore opened on the eve of the 100th anniversary of the birth of V.I. Lenin, but due to the design of new stands, some were unavailable. The museum finally opened on January 15, 1971. The museum itself is located on the second floor of the district House of Culture. On December 23, 1980, the public museum of the city of Lyubim was awarded the honorary title “People's Museum”.

Address: st. Oktyabrskaya, 11

Shopping arcades at the end XVIII century

Old shopping center of the city. Next to the Ryadov building there is a “Hot Bread” store, where tourists will be pleasantly surprised by the variety and affordable prices of delicious confectionery products from the Lyubimsky bakery “Ulybka”. A little to the right of Ryady you can cross the Obnora River on a pedestrian bridge, and simultaneously admire the beauty of the river and the bridge itself.

Ancient city park

It is a landscape natural monument. On the ramparts in this park there is a foundation stone of Lyubim, on which you can see the date of the city’s founding: 1538.

Church of the Life-Giving Trinity

According to the Lyubim Museum of Local Lore, the Church of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity in Lyubim was built in 1739 and had 5 limits. In her parish there were 97 houses, 284 male souls and 283 female ones. In later documents, it was listed as the ensemble of Our Lady of Kazan, which included the churches of Our Lady of Kazan, Our Lady of Tikhvin and Trinity. With the advent of Soviet power, the church ceased to fulfill its functions, but various city services found a roof here from time to time. The main temple, for example, was once the office of the city water utility. When the utility workers left the church, the former shrine became accessible to both the ubiquitous boys who climbed the bell tower and those who wanted to get hold of free building materials. Among the rescued relics, only the clock from the bell tower of the Trinity Church, made by master Lyubimov in 1895, which is now an exhibit of the local history museum.

Address: st. Krasnoarmeyskaya, 6

Lyubim's story

The first mention of the city dates back to the time of Ivan the Terrible. According to legend, he loved to hunt in local forests rich in game and ordered the founding of a fortress here that would protect local residents from the attacks of the Kazan Tatars. According to the main version, the city got its name thanks to the male name Lyubim, which was very common in Rus' in the 16th century.

The reform of the government of Elena Glinskaya, the purpose of which was to strengthen trade and the country's defense capability, made Lyubim one of the hundred most significant cities in Russia. Gradually the city developed into an important center of domestic trade.

In 1777, Lyubim was granted city status, although at that time there were no pavements or street lighting. The main occupations of the inhabitants were agriculture, logging and cheese making. Less than a year later, the city's coat of arms was approved.

By the beginning of the 19th century, there were only six stone houses in Lyubim, the population was about 2,000 people. Active population growth was observed in the second half of the 20th century, but at the moment this figure is steadily declining. The city has agricultural enterprises, a butter and cheese factory, a bakery and a timber processing plant.

Attractions Lyubim

Lyubim is a small provincial town, which makes it interesting. The central part of the city has a radial-ring development, which was typical for medieval Russian cities. Have survived to this day Earthworks and a ditch - defensive structures from the period of the city's founding.

Works in the city Museum of History and Local Lore, in which you can get to know your loved one better. Here, the model of the ancient fortress, from which the history of the settlement once began, attracts attention. Much attention is paid to the military exploits of the natives of Lyubimsky Land. Also presented here is a diorama of the modern city, which is constantly updated taking into account changes in the real appearance of Lyubim.

Love's Heart - central square. Preserved here shopping arcades, built to replace wooden ones at the end of the 18th century. Two centuries ago, there was brisk trade here every week and even annual fairs were held, but today the rows are mostly empty, since there are few residents in the city, and tourists are not in a hurry to come here.

There is another interesting object located on the shopping area - Chapel of Alexander Nevsky. It was built at the end of the 19th century, according to the official version, in memory of the innocently murdered Emperor Alexander II. An elegant building with a tent and a dome is a functioning temple; services are held here.

One of the most visited places by citizens and tourists - City Park. This is a landscape monument where you can walk in the shade of trees, sit on a bench and look at huge boulder, which marks the site of the city's founding. From here you can go to the banks of the Obnora River, where there is a beautiful gazebo, and also a pedestrian bridge across the river, along which you can easily move to another part of the city.

In the very center of the city, on the territory of the former Kremlin, stands, built at the expense of parishioners at the end of the 18th century and replacing older wooden churches. Notable for its unusually shaped windows. Next to the cathedral there is a high bell tower, which offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area. It was built at the beginning of the 18th century and is considered one of the first stone structures in the city. Currently, restoration work is underway in the cathedral.

On the banks of the Obnora River, at the end of the 18th century, a Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist. Initially, it was five-domed, and next to it stood a bell tower (it has not survived to this day). During Soviet times, the temple was badly damaged; it has now been handed over to believers, and services are held there.

Very handsome Trinity temple complex on the moat of the parish. One of the oldest stone churches in Lyubim - Trinity, built in 1739, is badly damaged. Its peer, , was closed during Soviet times, an archive was located there, and is now in an abandoned state. A happier fate for the one next door Tikhvin Church, built in the 19th century. It suffered the least from time and people; it was recently returned to believers and is now being restored.

Among the architectural monuments of Lyubim we can highlight Vvedenskaya Church, which was originally built as part of the Afanasyevskaya men's hermitage in Zauchye, and later became an independent temple. During its history, it was closed several times, but during Soviet times it avoided a similar fate, so it was well preserved.

About thirty kilometers from Lyubim on the shores of Lake Surskoye stands, founded in 1529. In the last century it was almost completely destroyed, but at the beginning of the 21st century it was handed over to believers and is being actively restored. Among the relics here you can see the well of St. Gennady, the founder of the monastery, and his relics. You can get from Lyubim to the monastery along a forest road.

Another noteworthy place on Lyubimskaya land is the ancient merchant Zakobyakino village, located thirty kilometers south of the city. Here, well-preserved two-story merchant houses and shops, a beautiful stone functioning temple, as well as the building of the former zemstvo hospital, which is more than a hundred years old, are perfectly preserved.

We love - a small town in the Yaroslavl region. If you drive from Aleksandrov to the Brykov Mountains, and further to the right, along the Kholmogory road, deserted at this time, past black autumn villages with bright pumpkins and apples in buckets put up for sale near the highway - and so get to the Volga itself, and there, beyond the Volga take a little to the right, not listening to the navigators, and after a hundred kilometers this small town will appear.

They say that once Ivan the Terrible came this way - he was from our Alexandrov and to Lyubim, and he loved the local falconry so much that it gave the name to the city - Lyubim. In fact, in the year Lyubim was formed, Ivan the Terrible was only eight years old, but who is interested in historical truth? Of course, there are other versions of the appearance of the name of the small Trans-Volga town, but let this legend remain in my story.

My husband and I love to travel to places where the last tourist visited almost under Ivan the Terrible. Recently, an excellent direct road was built from Yaroslavl to Lyubim, but neither Google nor Yandex know this route and direct motorists the old fashioned way - through Danilov. It was very strange to drive along a rain-dark, flat and straight road with unerased markings and see on the navigator screen endless green wastelands and a thin thread of primer. It seemed that here, after crossing the Volga, we found ourselves in some other time and space - otherwise, how could there be such a road here, in the center of the non-black earth region, without a single hole or pothole?

This riddle remains unsolved for us. Maybe one of the current formidable kings fell in love with these places for their hunting... But I won’t say what I’m not sure about. I can only say one thing for sure - if fate takes you to these parts, then do not listen to the navigators, but follow the advice of local residents and read the signs. You will be pleasantly surprised.

One hundred kilometers on a good road flew by quickly, in a little more than an hour - and we still stopped to take photographs. But then small private houses appeared ahead, and, of course, the unspoken symbol of Lyubim - Ivan the Terrible with a falcon on his hand. Well, Ivan is not Ivan - but the hand, they say, is definitely his.

And yet, many of the older generation are familiar with the city of Lyubim. Remember, once upon a time, in the Soviet Union, we bought books “for waste paper”? It was precisely among them that Gilyarovsky’s small red book “Moscow and Muscovites” was found. As a child, I was fascinated by this collection of essays by Uncle Gilay. And from there I just remember - “the favorites ran the tavern business from Moscow to St. Petersburg.” In fact, not the favorites themselves, but the residents of the village closest to Lyubim - Zakobyakino. When Soviet power came to Lyubim in 1917 - they rolled out a Maxim machine gun into the window of the second floor of the council and read out an order from Yaroslavl to establish a new government - the favorites scratched their heads and went home. Advice is just advice.

But the Zakobyakians were not at all so submissive. Still would. They had something to lose - the village was entirely made of stone houses, the Zakobyak residents lived widely, freely and richly. And then some councils order everything to be given away and divided among everyone. For a long time, for several years, the Zakobyakin gangs instilled fear in the surrounding area, until they finally defeated them in the twenties.

But let's get back to our journey. We arrived in Lyubim in the morning and immediately went to the museum. In fact, this is the most correct decision. In an unfamiliar city, you need to go to the local history museum - it’s a shame that there is no such museum in our Aleksandrov. Where else will they talk about history, about famous battles of past years, and then, during conversations, about how the city lives today. Well, really, why not stop local residents on the streets with questions? Once my husband and I tried to do this - we went into a store in godforsaken Kologriv and, standing in line, asked an old pensioner - how do you live now, dear? If you remove obscene expressions from the answer, it turns out that the old man was silent.

We didn’t take that risk anymore and in Lyubim we agreed on an excursion in advance. The director of the museum, Viktor Valentirovich Gurin, showed it to us. A wonderful man, an enthusiast of his work, a local historian, a former geography teacher, who has written several books about his native land. Here is his portrait against the background of a model of the ancient Lyubim, which Viktor Valentinovich made himself

The museum in Lyubim is good. For example, do you recognize it? Ivan the Terrible was carved so naturally that I shuddered when I saw him in the dimly lit hall

And here is a model of a warrior. The axe, helmet and chain mail on it are authentic. Well, the ax handle, of course, had to be remade.

In general, the museum has a lot of carved exhibits. These are the works of a local woodcarver, S. Saar. He also decorates his city - the hand with a falcon at the entrance to the city and the sculptures on the central square were made by him.

This is, in my opinion, the Cheshire cat. It's creepy, isn't it?

It should not be surprising that the director of the museum is a person without special education. There are many reasons for this, and this situation is not uncommon in the province. Viktor Valentinovich is an intelligent and intelligent person. He understands which exhibits can be renovated somehow - by re-upholstering, for example, decayed pillows on antique chairs, and which cannot be touched under any circumstances. But the former director of the museum, Ariy Fedorovich Zheleznyakov - an undoubtedly worthy man and an enthusiast of his work - had a nice habit of painting “old and rusty” exhibits with silver or gold paint. Renew, so to speak. Otherwise it’s sloppy! Here, for example, are old scales:

Or a carefully painted silver weight from the 17th century. And laughter and sin...

But Viktor Valentinovich has to restore old furniture underground. A small museum is not supposed to have a restorer on staff; sending some heavy sofa with springs sticking out of it to Yaroslavl is impossible for financial reasons. So the director has to do everything himself, without permission - and then write in the acts that the exhibit was donated to the museum, already renewed and glued. Well, what do you tell me to do, dump the furniture with broken backs and torn upholstery in the storage room?.. No one will ever repair it, and everything will decay to dust.

After visiting the museum, where we spent about three hours, examining in detail both ancient phonographs and the history of photography from pre-revolutionary watering cans to devices of the end of the last century, we went out for a walk.

There is a small chapel on the lawn. Up to my shoulder. I can't imagine who made it and why...

For the first time I see a monument to a worker with a brick.

About 6 thousand people now live in all of Lyubim. They work in shops, at a bakery, at a sawmill. They receive benefits and pensions. As elsewhere, the majority of the adult and able-bodied population went to work in Yaroslavl or Moscow. From time immemorial, these regions lived on waste industries... But Lyubim did not seem abandoned and deserted to me, like Yuryevets or Puchezh. Life in the city proceeds measuredly, slowly, with its anxieties and curiosities. There is also political life in Lyubim. They told us the following story about the confrontation between different parties. There is a cell of the LDPR party in Lyubim, consisting of one enthusiast. He regularly travels to Yaroslavl and receives propaganda materials from his party there, which he must distribute throughout the city - for this the LDPR party pays him small money. And the United Russia party, of course, does not like competitors. And he also pays a little money for the leaflets that were torn down and collected for campaigning of other parties. So, a LDPR activist, arriving with campaign materials from Yaroslavl, takes them straight to United Russia. And he also gets a little money there. Well, really, it’s easier, and it saves time...

We walked around the city for a short time - the cold October rain began to fall and the wind rose. My husband and I walked around the city center and looked into a couple of shops, bought some simple food for the way back, climbed into the car, turned on the heated seats, and slowly drove back to Moscow. Through fields and hills, past black villages and copses, along a road that does not exist.
