Monastery of Sts. Boris & Gleb in Torzhok | Russia


Postcard
The town of Torzhok is known for its ensembles of neoclassical architecture. A favorable location on the Tvertsa River just above its confluence with the Volga made Torzhok one of Russia’s oldest trading centers. The town’s name derives from the word torg, or "trade."

Im not sure if this city was a full member of the Hanseatic League or just a Kontor.
