Kineshma, the second-largest town in Ivanovo Oblast, sprawls for 15 kilometers along the Volga River, 335 kilometers north-east of Moscow. Kineshma was one of the richest merchant Volga towns of pre-revolutionary Russia. From a large industrial and trade center, Kineshma has turned into a quiet tourist spot. Here you can enjoy picturesque landscapes, visit museums and architectural monuments. Kineshma's principal landmark is the Trinity Cathedral, built in 1838–1845 to a typical Neoclassical design. In 2010, Kineshma was granted status of a town of historical significance.
