Suzdal, situated on the bank of the Kamenka River, was built by several generations of Russian artisans. Nowadays, Suzdal is a museum-town with more than 200 historical and architectural monuments. A museum of wooden architecture and peasant life has been created on the site of the former monastery of Our Savior and St. Euthimius. Wooden buildings were brought here from different districts of the Vladimir region. Places of interest include its own Kremlin, the Bishop's Chambers, the Monastery of Our Savior and St. Euthimius and Nikolskaya church.
