    Before the October Revolution, the village of Gorodets was a large trading center, a merchant village, which consisted of 10 churches, one cathedral, Fedorovsky monastery, 12 houses of worship, 29 taverns. Gorodets merchants - grain traders - had their own steamships and barges, on which they delivered huge amounts of grain from the lower reaches of the Volga and Kama to Gorodets.

    Gorodets is one of the oldest Russian cities. Founded in 1152 by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky.
    Gorodets was built as a military base and fortress on the steep and steep left bank of the Volga about 50 kilometers above the confluence of the Oka.
    The name of Alexander Yaroslavich Nevsky is inextricably linked with Gorodets, the oldest city in the Nizhny Novgorod region.
    Here, back in 1263, the earthly journey of Prince Alexander ended. And although the history of Gorodets - as a fortress city and the center of an appanage principality - continued for another century and a half, this fact became, by far, the most significant in the history of the city, forever inscribing it in the history of the Fatherland.

    Over time, the village of Gorodets grew on this site, laying the foundation for the modern city.
    The working population was engaged in a wide variety of handicraft and waste trades. Gorodets was a significant center of wooden shipbuilding and woodworking industries. Pottery and gold-embroidery, spinning, weaving, production of painted wooden and clay toys, embroidery, and lace-making were also developed. Decorative wood carving and artistic painting, which are now real folk art, occupied and still occupy a special place among the crafts of the Gorodets land.

    One stream of Mongol-Tatars was purposefully sent by Batu to Gorodets.
    It can be assumed that the city was well known at that time as a large and rich center of Ancient Rus', not only in the Volga region, but far beyond its borders.

    History of Gorodets The city of Gorodets is almost the same age as Moscow; it was founded, according to some sources, in 1152 by Yuri Dolgoruky, according to others - in 1163 by Andrei Bogolyubsky. It was first mentioned in chronicles in records dated 1172. In 1238, Batu's troops burned the city; in 1263-1282 it was restored and became the capital of the Gorodets principality, which included Nizhny Novgorod. In 1263, Prince Andrei Alexandrovich (Andrei Gorodetsky, Grand Duke of Vladimir, Prince of Novgorod and Prince Gorodetsky, c. 1255-1304), son of the Grand Duke of Vladimir Alexander Nevsky (1221-1263), became its ruler. On November 14, 1263, Alexander Nevsky died in Gorodets, having accepted the schema under the name Alexy a few days earlier. Under Prince Andrei Alexandrovich, Gorodets became a prominent political center. Subsequently, Gorodets was part of the Suzdal-Nizhny Novgorod Grand Duchy, formed in 1341 and existed intermittently until 1425. In 1408, Khan Edigei (1352-1419) completely destroyed the city, after which it was called “Empty Gorodets” for a long time. It was re-populated at the end of the 16th - beginning of the 17th century and turned into a craft village. Local residents were engaged in the manufacture of wooden utensils and traded bread. Around the same time, the Volga changed its course, moving away from the center of Gorodets. At the end of the 18th century we see Gorodets as a rich village, widely known throughout the Volga region. At this time, crafts such as leather dressing and shipbuilding developed here. The second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries was the heyday of Gorodets. The city became rich in shipping, shipbuilding and trade, many of yesterday's peasants became industrialists and merchants. In autumn and winter, the Gorodets Bazaar functioned, second only to the Nizhny Novgorod Fair, where bread, flax, and wood products were sold. The grain trade, flour milling, and folk crafts (embroidery, baking printed gingerbread, making pottery, horse arches, sleighs, and children's toys) flourished. In the 1870s, “Gorodets painting” appeared - narrative painting on spinning wheels.

    History of Gorodets gingerbread

    Exactly when they started baking gingerbread in Gorodets according to their special recipe is unknown. The oldest Gorodets printed gingerbread boards date back to the second half of the 18th century (they are now kept in the State Historical Museum in Moscow). At the end of the 18th century, up to 8,000 pounds of gingerbread were baked per year. The price of “gingerbread Russian honey” was 4 rubles per pound, “Ukrainian honey” - 3 rubles 80 kopecks. per pound of gingerbread - 2 rubles 50 kopecks. per pood. In the first third of the 19th century, according to a guide to the Volga by the Chernetsov brothers (1838), up to 10 thousand pounds of gingerbread were baked, some weighing up to a pound (16.38 kg) and even more - 25-kilogram Gorodets gingerbreads are known. There were up to 30 varieties of Gorodets gingerbread: small (“snack bars”), large (“arshine”), honey, sugar, molasses, fruit, almond, with liqueur, etc. By the end of the 19th century, there were 15 gingerbread baking establishments in the city, staffed by hereditary masters. At the All-Russian exhibition of 1896 in Nizhny Novgorod, the especially popular gingerbread cookies of Alexander Maksimovich Bakharev were presented. History has preserved the names of other hereditary masters, mainly Old Believers: the Glazunovs, Belyaevs, Lemekhovs, Shcherbakovs. Twice Gorodets gingerbread was presented as a gift to Emperor Nicholas II. After the revolution, the gingerbread industry did not die out. In 1930, the “Red Gingerbread” artel was created, where, in addition to gingerbread, other bakery products were baked, and sweets and montpassiers were produced. In 1956, the artel was transformed into the Gorodets food processing plant. Since 1978, printed gingerbread “Gorodets Souvenir” has been baked here.

Goodness is not only the quality of a person, measured by good deeds and actions, but also a certain well-being, a set of material things. Currently, four gallery rooms are open to the public. At the entrance, guests are presented with a display case with an amazing find - an ancient money treasure. The “Front Hall” features an exhibition of copper utensils, complemented by a unique item – a working cash register from the late 19th century.

The “Winter Hall” introduces visitors to the history of the Russian stove and a collection of cast-iron stove doors.

    Gorodets wood painting is a famous folk art

    fishery of the Nizhny Novgorod region.

    It developed in the second half of the 19th century

    in Trans-Volga villages near Gorodets.

    Residents of the surrounding villages were reputed to be skilled

    artisans, among whom were blacksmiths,

    weavers, dyers, carvers, carpenters and joiners.

    There was a lot of timber in the Volga region, and it provided a lot of cheap

    the material from which everything was made: from children's toys

    to pieces of furniture. Gorodets were especially famous

    spinning wheels, which were sold in large quantities on Nizhny Novgorod

    fair and dispersed throughout Russia. We were happy to buy them

    thanks to the funny painted pictures on the bottom of the spinning wheel.

    After finishing work, the housewives decorated them with such donuts.

    walls instead of pictures. Soon they began to decorate with such painting

    not only spinning wheels, but also many folk items

    everyday life: chairs, baskets, boxes, salt shakers and toys.


    Gorodets painting is unique in its style,

    therefore it is quite difficult to confuse it.

    Not a single Gorodets product is complete without lush garlands,

    bouquets of flowers reminiscent of roses and daisies.

    Gorodets masters did not know the laws of perspective,

    therefore their drawings were flat. But their work was always different

    amazing lightness and transparency.

    Previously, Gorodets painting was done with egg paints, which

    lay on the product in large color spots, without prior

    contour. The drawing was applied with free strokes with a graphic outline

    black or white. The predominant colors were blue, red, white and black.

    Nowadays, craftsmen use oil paint, which has expanded

    color scheme. But the technology remains the same.


    The main elements of Gorodets painting are considered to be
