Kirzhach ({{lang-ru|Киржа́ч}}) is a town and the administrative center of Kirzhachsky District in Vladimir Oblast, Russia, located on the Kirzhach River in the west of the oblast, {{convert|125|km|sp=us}} west of Vladimir and {{convert|29|km|sp=us}} south of Alexandrov. Population: {{ru-census2010|29,965|.}}

Etymology

The town is named after the Kirzhach River. The root of the name (kirzh) corresponds to a Moksha or Erzya word meaning "left".

History

It was established in the 14th century as a sloboda assigned to the Annunciation Monastery.{{citation needed|date=October 2013}} The latter was established by Saint Sergius of Radonezh, who lived in the area between 1354 and 1358. For most of its history, the abbey remained heavily dependent upon the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, which lies {{convert|48|km|sp=us}} to the west. After the monastery was disbanded in 1764, the sloboda was granted municipal rights in 1778.{{citation needed|date=October 2013}} Thereafter, Kirzhach, as many other towns in the vicinity, developed primarily as a textile center.

On October 12, 2004, the settlement of Krasny Oktyabr was merged with the town.

Architecture and landmarks

Kirzhach is famous for its great monastery- Blagoveschensky cathedral.The diminutive katholikon, erected during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, conforms to the early Muscovite type of cathedral church. It is commonly regarded as one of the last and loveliest specimens of this conservative strain. The monastery has a very interesting structure- it is an open gallery. This gallery connects the cathedral with the nearby Savior church, which has a square tower and a tent-like belfry. This church is a tomb of prominent Russian boyars-Miloslavskys. The 16th-century church was demolished during the Soviet time, but people began to rebuild and reconstruct it again in 1990s. Today the cathedral is a women monastery. Since 1997, the monastery possesses the relics of the Russian Saint, Roman Kirzhachsky, the student of another great Russian Saint, Sergey Radonezhsky. Tourists can see two ancient St. Nikolay's churches. One was built in 1764, another one in 1846. On the facade of the local art palace can be found a memorial plaque that commemorates the meeting of Yuri Gagarin, the world's first spaceman, with local people on 29 March 1963. 18 km from Kirzhach (near the village of Novoselovo), Gagarin and flight instructor Vladimir Seryogin died in a plane crash on 27 March 1968. A large memorial, museum and visitors spot has been built on the crash site. Tourists can also see the buildings of old shopping malls, built in the 1850s.
