🔔 The bell tower in the middle of the Volga River is the main landmark of Kalyazin, a small town in the Tver region. This 75-meter tower was once part of the St. Nicholas Cathedral, built in 1800.

🌊 In 1939–40, during the construction of the Uglich Hydroelectric Power Plant, the historic center of the town was flooded. Residents were relocated to the right bank. The monastery and cathedral were demolished, but the bell tower was left intact as a navigation marker, with its foundation reinforced.

Many Kalyazin residents dismantled their wooden houses and moved them to the new location. However, reassembly faced challenges—materials were scarce, and the work was done hastily.

🛥 Today, around 12,000 people live in Kalyazin. In 2022, the town welcomed 245 cruise ships. Boat tours to the bell tower are organized, and during dry years, it’s possible to walk to it on the exposed riverbed.
