Church of SS Boris & Gleb - Kideksha, Russia - Orthodox Churches on Waymarking.com

This unique church is a part of the UNESCO World Heritage "White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal". The church on the Nerl River is in the quiet village 4 km east of Suzdal. It was built for Yuri Dolgoruky, who had a small wooden palace here.
The palace disappeared, the church has been rebuilt many times. But a few fragments of the 12th-century frescoes remain, including two figures on horseback. They probably represent Vladimir's sons, Boris and Gleb, who were the first Russian saints.
