One of the most famous Russian churches Pokrova na Nerli is situated in Vladimir region. It was founded in 1158 or 1165 according to different sources.
The location of the church is unique. It was build in the lowland on a little hill in a water meadow. Previously here was Nerl river outlet to Klyazma river (in our times the rivers changed their flow). The church was situated almost on the river arrow thus forming the cross of the main water trading routes.
