Vytegra is located in the northwestern part of the
Vologda region. It is the administrative center of Vytegorsky
district. The city is located on the Vytegra River and the
Volga-Baltic Canal, 15 kilometers south of the last exit to Lake
Onega. The city authorities seek to increase the tourist
attractiveness of the city by opening new museums and attractions.
Visiting the city for tourist purposes is actually possible in
two ways. The first one is a trip by car through the settlements of
the Vologda region and Karelia, as well as a trip to Lake Onega. The
second method involves arriving in Vytegra by water, for example, on
a personal yacht or cruise ship. However, despite the location of
the city on the main cruise route between Moscow and St. Petersburg,
Vytegra is not a traditional stopping point. The exception may be
small ships, targeted at Russian tourists.
The rectangular grid of Vytegra streets was formed according to the general plan of 1776. Most of the historical buildings are located on the right bank of the Vytegra River; its core is the former Torgovaya Square (now mostly built up) with a classicist building built in 1810. The former Resurrection Avenue (now part of Lenin Avenue) with the Resurrection Cathedral begins from the trading square. Fragments of the old buildings have also been preserved on the left bank, on Krasnaya Gorka.
The Resurrection Cathedral (1796-1800) was previously
the main city dominant. This building is cruciform in plan, elongated
along the longitudinal axis, built in the late Baroque style. The
cathedral consisted of several volumes: the main cube, the altar, the
refectory with two aisles, the porch with the bell tower. The chetverik
of the main temple was crowned with a light main and an onion drum; at
the corners of the hipped roof there were 4 small decorative cupolas.
The altar apse was also completed with a similar dome. The high
quadrangle of the bell tower ended with an octagonal dome, which served
as the base of the spire topped with a cross with an apple. The external
decoration of the cathedral consisted only of modest sandriks at the
middle windows and a belt of simple rods at the level of the height of
the altar apse. In Soviet times, the building was adapted as a house of
culture for water workers; the bell tower and drums with domes were
dismantled.
Sretenskaya Church (1869-1873)
Chapel of St. Isaac

where, according to legend, Peter I examined the surroundings and talked
with local residents about the connection of Vytegra and Kovzha)
Stone important on the Trading Square. (later the fire
department). The building is made in a classical style. It is
rectangular in plan, with a hipped roof. The semicircular arcade of flat
niches rests on the shoulder blades. At the beginning of the 20th
century, the building housed a fire station. The round, tapering tower
with an observation tower was lost during the Soviet era.
The
oldest stone buildings of Vytegra, built at the end of the 18th century
after the adoption of the master plan, include the merchant houses of
the Nevezhins (circa 1792), Shalapanov (1796), I. Galashevsky, Vikulin
(both - around 1797). The most representative civil building in Vytegra
of the 19th century is the house of K. Galashevsky (1804, decoration in
the 1820s). Manin's house was built. Since the 1830s stone construction
in the city almost ceased. An example of a semi-stone building is
Cherepanov's house in the middle of the 19th century. Stone construction
actively resumed at the beginning of the 20th century. The largest
buildings of this period are the Loparevs' house and the women's
gymnasium. At the end of the 19th century, sawn carving spread in wooden
construction, usually with a simple geometric ornament.

The first written mention of the
Vytegorsky churchyard on the Veliky Novgorod-Sheksna trade route
dates back to 1496.
On the map of Muscovy from 1706 (Carte de

as 'Vitzgora ou Vitegra', standing on the river Vytegra (R. de
Vitegra).
Since 1710, after the construction of the Vyanga
pier, it has been known as the village of Vyangi, at the confluence
of the Vyangiruchya River with the Vytegra (Karelian vengi “stream
or small river connecting two lakes (lamps, swamps); channel”, “bay,
bay”). A trade route from Arkhangelsk to St. Petersburg passed
through the pier. In 1715, a state shipyard was built, which
operated until 1847.
In 1773, by decree of Catherine II, the
village was transformed into the city of Vytegra along the more
significant (receiving) river Vytegra. The etymology of the hydronym
Vytegra has not been established, but the -egra format makes it
possible to attribute it to the number of ancient Finno-Ugric names
characteristic of the North of the European part of Russia.
In 1776, Vytegra became the administrative center of the Vytegorsk
district of the Olonetsk region of the Novgorod governorship.
From 1784 to 1922, Vytegra with the district was part of the
Olonets province. In the 19th century, the question of moving the
center of the Olonets province to Vytegra from Petrozavodsk was
repeatedly raised.

which operated until the mid-1830s.

with the opening (1810) of the Mariinsky canal of the Mariinsky
water system with a system of locks. The Board of the Vytegorsky
District of Communications was located in the city. But at the end
of the 19th century, with the opening of the
Moscow-Yaroslavl-Arkhangelsk railway and the St. Petersburg-Vyatka
road, economic prosperity gave way to decline.
In 1875, the
Vytegorsk Teachers' Seminary was opened. According to the
information for 1911, the Nikolaev Women's Gymnasium and the Real
School operated in Vytegra.
At the beginning of the 20th
century, Vytegra was one of the places of political exile.
Soviet period
Until 1927, the city was a county in the Leningrad
(until 1924 - Petrograd) province, after that - the regional center
of the Leningrad region. In 1937, the Vytegorsky district was
assigned to the Vologda region.
In 1940-1941. the
construction of the Volga-Baltic waterway began with the help of
prisoners, a forced labor camp was created in Vytegra. During the
Great Patriotic War, the front line approached Vytegra. People were
evacuated along the waterway. In 1948-1952, the Vytegorsk corrective
labor camp again operated. The Volga-Baltic waterway was opened in
1964, which led to a new increase in the importance of the city.
