Kalyazin is one of the oldest towns of the Tver region, situated on the Volga river was founded in the end of the XIIth century.The monastery of Kalyazin was one of the greatest and most beautiful monasteries of Tver region and even of Russia.
But in 1936-1940 in connection with the building of the HydroElectricStation and a reservoir in Uglich the Troitcki monastery was destroyed and its territory together with an old part of the town were flooded.
The historical old part of the town, its jewel - the Troitcki monastery, the Nickolaevski cathedral and a lot of other important places were left under water. The reservoir of Uglich destroyed almost 2/3 of Kalyazin and about 40 other settlements of the Kalyazin region.
