Overview Assumption Church in Autumn

Overview Assumption (Uspenskaya) Church from Earthen Rampart on a beautiful Autumn day. Originally constructed in the second half of the 17th Century, and rebuilt in 1720 after a devastating fire raised the city in 1719, the Church of Assumption of Our Lady is located in the eastern part of Suzdal Kremlin on Kremlevskaya Street on the “Princely Courtyard”, the same road where the Gate Tower of the Prophet Elijah once stood. The church was damaged and reconstructed after a fire that had been the revenge of Peter the Great on the citizens of Suzdal who raised against him at the end of 17th century.
