Abstract

The following article shows the development of church building in the Tver Kremlin in the 13th – 15th centuries. The authors localize and describe all known wooden and stone temples using the written and archaeological sources of the period. The authors state that some decades after the establishment of the Tver Principality, by the end of the 13th century numerous temples had been built in the Tver Kremlin. By that time, the only stone construction was the Cathedral of Transfiguration. The 14th century did not substantially change the correlation between the stone and wooden constructions either, though two stone aisles to the cathedral were erected.
