Bishop's Court (Vologda Kremlin). In fact, the historic Vologda Kremlin, built by Ivan the Terrible, was confined to the Vologda River, Zolotukhoi (Mira Street) and fortifications along the modern Oktyabrskaya and Leningradskaya streets. And this is a complex of buildings of the court of Vologda archbishops enclosed with fortifications.

Former Catholic Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (popularly "Polish Church"). Built in 1913 according to the design of architect Joseph Vladimirovich Padlevsky. Nowadays restaurant "Miskolc".

Address: Vologda, Galkinskaya street, 37.

Bishop's courtyard, from left to right - the Resurrection Cathedral (behind it is the bell tower of the Sophia Cathedral), the Sophia Cathedral (the oldest structure of Vologda,from the times of Ivan the Terrible), Alexander Nevsky Church (the second historical name is the Church of St. Nicholas the Miracle Worker, which is lime).

Saint Sophia Cathedral was built by order of Tsar Ivan the Terrible in 1568–1570. The original name - Assumption - due to the fact that the cathedral was built in the likeness of the eponymous church of the Moscow Kremlin. The temple was consecrated after the death of the king, although built with him. There is a legend that when regaining the temple, plaster fell on the head of the sovereign, an angry king forbade sanctification of the temple. But, most likely, the reason was that Ivan the Terrible lost interest in Vologda, as the capital of the oprichnina, realizing that the oprichnina is not the most successful version of government.
