The Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin on the Nerl River is an Orthodox church and a symbol of medieval Russia.
The church is situated at the confluence of Nerl and Klyazma Rivers in Bogolyubovo, Suzdalsky District, Vladimir Oblast, 13 km north-east of the ancient capital of Vladimir.
The church was commissioned by Andrei Bogolyubsky.
According to some sources, it was built to commemorate Andrei's victory
over the Bulgars and his son Izyaslav, who was slain in the battle. The exact construction date of the church is unknown.
The monument is built in white stone, and has one dome and four
columns in the interior. Its proportions are elongated on purpose to
make its outline seem more slender, although this architectural solution
made its interior too dark for holding divine services.
For centuries, the memorial church greeted everyone approaching the palace at Bogolyubovo.
In spring, the area would be flooded, and the church appeared as if
floating on water. The church itself has not been touched by later
generations; only the dome's shape has been slightly changed, and
porch-galleries were added in the 12th-century, rebuilt in 18th-century
and then demolished. The walls are still covered with 12th-century
stonecarvings.
In 1992, the church was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the site White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal.
