But the town with the current name appeared only in 1844 year, when the village of Pavlovo and four other neighboring ones were united into a single city. Since then in history of Pavlovsky Posad there have been many events that are reminiscent of local attractions; tourists will find something to see here both within one day and during a two-three-day walk.

Pavlovsky Posad is a small town located in the eastern part of the Moscow region, 65 kilometers from the capital. It is located at the confluence of the Klyazma and Vokhna rivers and covers an area of ​​39 square kilometers. The population of the city reaches almost 65 thousand people.

Story

The settlement on the site of the present Pavlovsky Posad appeared in early XIV century. Then the Vokhonskaya volost was located here with the center in the village of Vokhna, it is also Pavlovo. Local residents took part in internecine wars, and during the Time of Troubles - in battles with the Polish invaders. In 1795, a production for the manufacture of scarves was opened here. In the Patriotic War of 1812, the village played the role of the center of the partisan movement, deflecting the onslaught of Napoleon's troops. On June 2, 1844, Emperor Nicholas I issued a decree on the unification of the village of Vokhna with nearby villages and villages. Now the settlement received the status of a city and was called Pavlovsky Posad. And the local shawl factory began to produce woolen shawls, which immediately gained popularity throughout Russia. At the end of the 19th century, production expanded, and its products received awards at various exhibitions. During the Great Patriotic War in Pavlovsky Posad there were hospitals and military centers. The heyday of the city is considered the 70-80s of the twentieth century - it was then that the population grew here, local production facilities were modernized and new factories were built.

The foundation of the monastery is associated with the name of the main manufacturer of Posad - Yakov Labzin. In 1885, he organized a monastery here in honor of his close friend and companion Vasily Gryaznov, who was a pious man. The construction of the monastery began in 1874 with the construction of a two-story church over Gryaznov's grave. Then, over the course of several years, other buildings were erected around, in which parishioners gathered, and later a convent was opened. The monastery successfully existed and developed until the beginning of Soviet times - then it was closed, and the buildings were seriously damaged. Only in 2002 the buildings were restored, and the monastery was reopened. Today the monastery operates, however, it has turned from a female into a male one.

Address: Maxim Gorky lane, 19. Anyone can visit the monastery. Reception time for visitors: from 7.00 to 21.00. Free admission.

The church is the oldest in the city. Its first building belonged to the XIV century, it was wooden and bore the name of Dmitry Solunsky, but it was destroyed by foreign warriors. Then, in the 16th century, a new church was erected - in honor of George the Victorious, which was also destroyed during the Time of Troubles. In 1703, a temple was again built here, already from stone. It included the Church of Demetrius of Thessalonica, a bell tower 58 meters high and a refectory. The building was huge and could accommodate 5,000 parishioners. At the end of the 19th century, German chimes were placed on the bell tower, which played several musical compositions - this building became a symbol of Pavlovsky Posad. In the middle of the twentieth century, all buildings, except for the bell tower, were destroyed, and a branch of the Museum of Local Lore was placed in it. The building was returned to believers only in 1998, and after some time services resumed here. To date, the bell tower operates, and on its facade there are still clocks with chimes.

Address: Mira street, building 1. Opening hours: from 7.00 to 21.00. Free admission.

The chapel was erected in honor of the centenary of the victory of Russian troops over Napoleon in 1912. Soviet time sadly affected the building: it was demolished and a highway was laid in this place. The building was restored only in the current century, bringing it as close as possible appearance to the architecture of the original chapel. A beautiful bridge was installed nearby, on which locals in love hang padlocks.

Address: Mira Street, next to the Ascension Church. Free admission.

The church was founded in 1913 with the money of the factory owner Alexander Sokolikov. The temple has two floors: factory workers gathered on one, services were held on the other. Under Soviet rule, the church was closed, and a comprehensive school functioned in the building. Now services have been resumed here again, and a Sunday school is also open.

Temple of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God

The Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God is quite new and was built at the beginning of the 20th century at the expense of the merchant Fyodor Manaev. Therefore, local residents sometimes call the temple Manaevsky. The church did not work for long: in the 30s it was closed, organizing a dining room in the building. Then the appearance of the building changed a lot, only the altar ledges remained from the original architecture. Since 2003, the temple has been operating again.

Address: Pavlovskaya street, 28. Opening hours: from 9.00 to 16.30. Free admission.

The Temple of the Ascension was built on the banks of the Klyazma River in 1908. The building has a large size and rich architecture, as well as many decorative elements. The church worked until the 30s of the twentieth century, until local priests were arrested. Then the temple was restored and re-opened for believers.

  Pavlovsky Posad is a small town, so it's worth getting around on foot or by bike, which you can rent. One day will be enough to see all the sights:

  
  

Pavlovsky Pasad is a small town in the Moscow region, which is famous throughout Russia for scarves. We got here "by mistake", but we had a wonderful time, exploring a new city near Moscow.

How we got to Pavlovsky Posad. By mistake

Recently, my friend and I came up with the idea to go to the Moscow region, to capture Golden Autumn. The choice fell on the estate of Dubrovitsy, which is located near Podolsk. Our journey began from the Kursk railway station. Safely buying tickets at the self-service terminal, we took the train to the station "Podolsk" and after an hour or so arrived in ... Pavlovsky Posad.
Later it turned out that the schedules of some electric trains of the Gorky and Kursk directions we need coincide. Focusing on the train board, we did not pay attention to the fact that we had entered the platform of the Gorky direction.
Already on the road for about 50-55 minutes, it turned out that we were going in the wrong direction. It should be noted that on the way to the train controllers came in, who did not raise questions about our tickets. But they not only indicated the final destination of the trip, but also the cost: a ticket to Podolsk costs 102 rubles, and to Pavlovsky Posad - 164.
Having quickly opened the maps in our smartphones, thanks to the functions of GPS and GLONASS, we found out that the nearest large settlement is Pavlovsky Posad. Since neither my companion nor I had visited this city before, and there were no other options, it was decided to leave in this city.

At the exit from the station, we had some difficulties, because our tickets were "wrong". I had to turn to the station staff for help, amusing them with my adventures. As a result, the cheapest tickets were bought, in which Pavlovsky Posad was the final destination. It cost us about 20 rubles each. We can say that we saved on the road.
Leaving the station, we found ourselves on Privokzalnaya Street. My friend wanted to buy a card so as not to waste her smartphone battery. Looking at the plan of the city, I suggested going to the banks of the Klyazma River, which seemed very close. I was counting on beautiful view but I was disappointed. Having turned off Privokzalnaya Street into Kalyaev Lane, we found that it was a dead end. Then began the territory of private houses and something like a forest belt. True, the belfry of the monastery could be seen through the trees, but there was no path, and I did not want to go into the mud, not knowing where. I had to turn around.

What to see in Pavlovsky Posad

Assuming that it would be easiest to ask the locals about sights, we turned to passers-by. But people did not seek to advertise their city. On the contrary, it was as if they were surprised that they were coming from Moscow to see something.
The locals suggested that we visit the Pavlovsky Posad Museum of History and Art (Pavlovsky Posad, Pokrovskaya Bol St., 38), saying that we would not like it there. We did not go to the museum, because it is located in that part of the city, which is located on the other side of the station. There were fears that while we were spinning around the station, we would lose time and see neither the monastery, nor the museum, nor the city.
I had to ask a specific question: how to get to the Intercession-Vasilyevsky Monastery. Having received clear instructions, we returned to the railway station, since there is a bus station nearby. We needed bus 27. This is an intercity route that connects Pavlovsky Posad with Noginsk. Goes, if you believe the schedule, quite often. The fare depends on the distance travelled; the fare to the monastery cost 50 rubles.
Once on the bus, we finally decided on a plan of action. It was decided to drive to the monastery, and from there, on foot, they would return to the station. By the way, the purchased map of the city is no longer useful.
Having landed at the fifth stop at the intersection of Mira Street and Mira Lane, we ended up on the territory of the Pokrovsky-Vasilyevsky Monastery.

The territory is very well-groomed, beautiful, but for the most part closed to tourists. We did not manage to see the Pokrovsky Cathedral located here. We went in during cleaning and moving around the temple was not only forbidden, but inconvenient. In summer it should be much better here: you can sit on the benches, enjoy the warmth and view of flowering plants.

Leaving the monastery, we went, as planned, to reverse side, the station. We walked along bus route 27. On the way we visited the Church of the Resurrection of the Word.

Strictly speaking, this is not a temple, but a bell tower, destroyed in the middle of the 20th century of the Cathedral. The bell tower was not demolished, but given to the local history museum. At the very end of the last century, the building was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church and now services are held here.

They say that the clock-chimes installed at the end of the 19th century on the bell tower were in no way inferior to the Moscow ones and played the hymn “God Save the Tsar”.

Then, having overcome the pedestrian bridge over the Vokhonka River, we entered the Temple of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God and went out to the Revolution Square.

Hungry and not wanting to experiment with local catering, they opted for McDonald's. I must say that fast food, which always and everywhere comes to the rescue, this time disappointed. The room is small, there are a lot of people (it was hard to find a free table), self-service terminals differ from those available in Moscow, and most importantly, the menu is somehow “cut down”, there were not even half of the usual sandwiches. As a result, I paid 400 rubles for lunch at an ordinary McDonald's, which I did not count on at all. We really regretted not going to some local cafe. Well, for example, with funny name- "Satiated Raccoon".

History says that Pavlovsky Posad was formed in the 19th century by combining five villages and several villages. And it is felt. In my opinion, this city has never been able to become a "city", a single monolithic organism. Rather, it can be called an urban-type settlement. There are a lot of one-two-story non-modern houses, among which high-rise buildings of the 20th and 21st centuries are literally “stuck”, here not all the streets are covered with asphalt, and even cats roam the city quite calmly, which are not at all afraid of humans.

Where to buy Pavlo-Posad shawls

We learned from the locals that there are two scarf shops: a company store and a factory store. In the second, scarves are cheaper, but it is closed on Sundays, like the factory itself.
Having turned from Revolution Square onto Lenin Street, we headed for the store. By the way, at the beginning of the street is the Fire Museum (Russia, Moscow region, Pavlovsky Posad, Lenina street, 5), located in the building of the fire station, built in 1870. However, the museum is closed and there is nothing on the doors to indicate that it is open at all.

Walking along the city streets and periodically checking the way to the store with passers-by, we examined the houses located here. I must say that they are quite interesting. Architecture lovers should definitely come here. Unfortunately, almost all houses are in need of repair. But there are also renovated buildings, and judging by them, Pavlovsky Posad loves the pink color of the walls.

We successfully found the store (Russia, Moscow region, Pavlovsky Posad, Gertsen lane, 1, opening hours from 9 to 19). There is a huge selection of scarves. Prices on average start at 1 thousand rubles.

But the classic Pavlovo-Posad shawl costs at least 3 thousand. The store has a website where you can place an order, and the courier will deliver it to you.
So, in order to buy an original product, it is not at all necessary to leave Moscow.
And of course, we could not leave the city without seeing, at least from the outside, its main attraction - the Pavlovo-Posad Shawl Manufactory.

Pavlovo-Posad Shawl Manufactory

Address: Russia, Moscow region, Pavlovsky Posad, Kalyaeva street, 5

The factory is located on Kalyaev Street, which goes directly to the station. Therefore, without any problems, having looked at the building of the manufactory, we went to the place where we started our journey through this city, to the Pavlovsky Posad station. The journey to Moscow took a little over an hour.
By the way, the city even has a museum of Shawls and shawls (Russia, Moscow region, Pavlovsky Posad, Bolshaya Pokrovskaya street, 37).
In general, we were satisfied with our small and unexpected trip. I can’t say that this city impressed me and I want to return there. But I think it needs to be done. After all, we have not visited a single museum, and without this one cannot call our impressions complete.

Story

Pavlovsky Posad has been known since 1328 as the village of Pavlovo or Vokhna.

In 1340, Ivan Kalita handed over Vokhonsky Volost to his son Ivan, who, in turn, handed it over to his grandson Dmitry Donskoy. He owned the Vokhon Volost until 1389. He often visited the village of Vokhna and built a wooden church here, which is why we celebrate Dmitriev's Day. For 2.5 centuries Vokhonskaya Volost passed from hand to hand of the Moscow princes. The last of them was Ivan the Terrible (IV), who took the title of tsar. In 1582, he donated Vokhonskaya Volost to the Trinity-Sergius Monastery, about which, on May 11, 1582, Ivan the Terrible issued a confirmation letter. Subsequently, the Trinity-Sergius Monastery played an important role in the political life of Rus': it supported the unifying policy of the princes, participated in the struggle against the Tatar-Mongols, and was a major cultural center; Ivan the Terrible and other sovereigns enriched the monastery.

According to scribe books in 1594, there were three churchyards in the Vokhonskaya Volost: the first churchyard was a cemetery, as well as a place for collecting tribute, two desert graveyards, a village inhabited by 119 people. The main occupation of the Vokhon people is arable farming, making carts, dishes, baskets, etc. The peasants lived in poverty, because they paid large taxes to the monasteries. Vessels with Vokhonian goods went along the Klyazma River to Vladimir, Astrakhan and Moscow.

In 1608, the Poles captured all the lands along the Klyazma River up to the city of Vladimir. Near the village of Dubrovo, the Vokhonians and the monks of the Trinity-Sergius Monastery defeated a detachment of Poles, the remnants of which fled in panic. The second important battle took place near the village of Pavlova, where the invaders suffered a crushing blow. After the victory, the militia went to the Trinity-Sergius Monastery to help its defenders. The siege lasted 16 months, because the Poles really wanted to capture the treasures of the monastery, which they never succeeded in. January 1, 1611 civil uprising liberated the monastery. Posadtsy restored their land and after a while the population increased to 3,363 people.

In 1764, the Vokhonskaya volost fell under the control of the state. Peasants began to be called state.

During the war of 1812, the Vokhon partisans distinguished themselves in combat operations against Napoleon's troops. They fought their first battle on September 25 near the village of Bolshiye Dvory, putting a detachment of the French to flight, and between the village of Vokhna and the churchyard of Ivan the Theologian they defeated a detachment of French foragers. Near the village of Gribovo on September 27, the partisans entered into battle with three squadrons of Marshal Ney's cavalry. The partisans rejected the French offer of reconciliation and in a heavy night battle, inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. The enemies moved a strong punitive detachment. The partisans set up several ambushes, suddenly attacking the French, and pushed them back. Reinforcements arrived in time for the enemy, and he began to push the militias. The situation changed with the approach of the reserve squad of peasants, which hit the enemy from the rear. The invaders did not expect the attack of fresh forces, could not withstand the onslaught and fled. The Vokhon militia pursued them for 8 versts and drove them until dark.

By the first half of the 19th century, the village turned into a significant industrial and commercial center of the Moscow region. It operated 25 enterprises: weaving, dyeing, brick. They produced silk and paper fabrics: grodenol, set, nanka, eraser. Raw materials for production were delivered from Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, and finished products were sold in Moscow and at all-Russian fairs: Nizhny Novgorod, Irbit, Rostov.

In March 1917, power in the city was taken by the Soviet of Workers' Deputies without the resistance of the bourgeois elements. The transfer of power took place without armed clashes.

S. Stulov, peasant G. M. Kurin and Sotsky I. Ya. Chushkin.
