The flooded belfry of Kalyazin, erected in 1800 as part of the St. Nicholas Cathedral on Kalyazin’s Market Square, the belfry formerly stood 70m high. The significant part of Kalyazin was submerged after the Uglich hydroelectric dam had been constructed in 1939. All the buildings in the flood zone should have been demolished prior. The Cathedral of St. Nicolas was blown up and its ruins went down under the water, but several tiers of the belfry survived remaining above the water.
