The Church of the Intercession of the Virgin on the Nerl River is a recognized masterpiece of white-stone Vladimir-Suzdal architecture, located not far from Bogolyubov, the country residence of Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky. Notable for its slender proportions, the Cathedral of the Intercession was built in 1165 in memory of the deceased son of Andrei Bogolyubsky, Izyaslav Andreevich. A small one-domed four-pillar temple with a zakomarny ending was originally encircled by a gallery located at the northern, western and southern facades. In the southern part of the gallery there was a staircase that led to the choir, traditionally located in the western part of the interior.
