Church of St George (Vladychino)

Vladychino in Yuryevetsky district is typical Ivanovo back-country with fields and a churchyard cemetery. The landmark is a stone church built in 1835 replacing earlier wooden structures. The building follows early-19th-century Russian classicism: a four-pier cube, bell tower, restrained façades. Regional records note altars and parish outbuildings; the church was substantial for a village. Access via regional roads from Yuryevets; the last kilometres may be dirt. GPS is not always precise — use coordinates 56.595833, 39.909722 and the cemetery by the walls. Vladychino suits a Yuryevetsky district route without tourist infrastructure: bring water, avoid collapsing vaults, and respect local residents.
