The Assumption Cathedral is beautiful and a definite must see, it’s an open air museum so good to visit in nicer weather.

This little church is a hidden gem and worth visiting as part of Vladimir/Souzdal tour, one of the oldest churches in white stone of XII century, built by Italian stonemasters , ordered by Prince Andrew to commemorate the death of his dear son and to pray in solitude, used to be even more impressive as you can see from the olden plan, surrounded by the river , with a pier for boats, galleries around it, that is double of today`s size, yet even today, after ages of reconstruction work some of the stonework like lions and birds and the paws of the unknown animal at the basement is absolutely stunning, that may be compared to St.Dimitry cathedral in Vladimir in terms of artwork... tip for a long distance traveller: rural summertime toilet near the church is for summer only, otherwise think where you could get a warm enough facility on the way, for a winter journey or wait till Souzdal

It is one of the best open-air museums of wooden architechture in Russia. If we are talking about the close proximity to Moscow, probably it is the museum you should visit. As for the museum, you can visit different churches - winter and summer one, as well as different housing types - for rich and poor peasants. I was there with a large group that had a guided tour so my visit was quite long and it was worth it.
