Vytegra - a county town

The first written mention of Vytegorsky churchyard on the trade route Veliky Novgorod - Sheksna dates back to 1496.

Since 1710, after the construction of the Vyanginskaya pier, it is known as the Vyangi village, at the confluence of the Vytegra Vyangyrucha river (Karelian vengi “stream or small river connecting two lakes (lambas, swamps); a channel”, “bay, bay”) ^{[2 ]} . A trade route passed from the marina from Arkhangelsk to St. Petersburg . In 1715, the state shipyard was built, operating until 1847.

In 1773, by decree of Catherine II, the village was transformed into the city of Vytegra along the more significant (receiving) Vytegra river. The etymology of the hydronym Vytegra has not been established, but the -egra format allows attributing it to the number of ancient Finno-Ugric names characteristic of the North of the European part of Russia .

In 1776, Vytegra became the administrative center of the Vytegorsky district of the Olonets region of Novgorod governorate .

The rectangular grid of Vytegra streets is formed according to the general plan of 1776. Most of the historical buildings are located on the right bank of the Vytegra River; its core is a commercial area with a classic building more important than the 1810 building. From the trading square begins the main street (now part of Lenin Avenue) with the Resurrection Cathedral ^[32] .

Religious architecture

• The Resurrection Cathedral (1796-1800) - previously the main city dominant. This is a cruciform in plan, elongated along the longitudinal axis of the building, built in the late Baroque style . The cathedral consisted of several volumes: the main cube, the altar, the refectory with two chapels, the porch with a bell tower. The quadrangle of the main temple was crowned with a light main and onion drum; in the corners of the four-sloped roof were 4 small decorative heads. The altar apse was completed in a similar way. The high four of the bell tower ended with an octagonal head, which served as the base of the spire crowned with a cross with an apple. The exterior decoration of the cathedral consisted only of modest sandriks at the middle windows and a belt of simple-shaped rods at the height of the altar apse. In Soviet times, the building was adapted as a water culture house; the bell tower and the drums with domes were dismantled ^[33] .

• Sretenskaya church (1869-1873)

• Chapel of St. Isaac of Dalmatia (1881; in the 1960s moved from Besednaya Gora, where, according to legend, Peter I examined the surroundings and talked with local residents about the connection of Vytegra and Kovzhi)

Civil Architecture

• The stone is important on Torgovaya pl. (later fire station). The building is designed in a classic style. In plan it is rectangular, with a four-pitched roof.
