The Kalyazin Bell Tower is a Neoclassical campanile rising over the waters of the Uglich Reservoir on the Volga River opposite the old town of Kalyazin, in Tver Oblast, northwestern Russia. The steepled belfry was built in 1796ââ¬â1800 as part of the Monastery of St. Nicholas. When Joseph Stalin ordered the construction of the Uglich Dam in 1939 to form the Uglich Reservoir, the old parts of Kalyazin, including several medieval structures, were submerged under the reservoir`s waters. |
