The oldest settlement of the Kideksha threatening Finnish tribes is located in the Vladimir region at the confluence of the Kamenka River in the Nerl just 4 km from Suzdal.
At the beginning of the 12th century, it was in this village that a meeting of two brothers took place - the princes Boris Rostovsky and Gleb Muromsky, who arrived here at the call of their father, Vladimir Krasnoye Solnyshko. Subsequently, both princes were killed by Svyatopolk the Damned and canonized by the Russian Church as holy martyrs. The name of the white-stone church of Boris and Gleb, the main attraction of Kideksha, is associated with their names.

A bit of history
In the days of Yuri Dolgoruky Kideksha was a fortified princely town, standing apart from the place of settlement of the noble boyars. While staying on the bank of Nerli Kidekshskaya fortress controlled the river routes to Suzdal and was strategically important outpost of the principality, since it was on the Nerlis that trade was carried out with other lands.
At the end of the 12th - the beginning of the 13th centuries the village was already quite large, as evidenced by the remains of the shafts discovered in our time.
In 1238, Kideksha was ruined by the Tatar-Mongol tribes and soon lost its status. Since the 14th century the Kidekshian church housed a man's monastery, and since the 18th century - a rural parish.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions Kidekshi
The main attraction of Kideksha is the white-stone church of Boris and Gleb, built in 1152 by the order of Yuri Dolgoruky, who decided to lay a fortified residence here.
Kidekshskaya church served as a burial vault for one of the sons of Yuri Dolgoruky - Prince of Belgorod and Turov Boris Yuryevich, who died in 1159. Here his wife Maria and their daughter Efrosinia were buried. In the interior of the church there is a fragment of frescoes of the 12th century, depicting two birds and a vegetative pattern in the form of interwoven leaves and flowers stems.
Together with the Transfiguration Cathedral in Pereslavl-Zalessky, the construction of which began in the same year 1152, the Church of Boris and Gleb is the oldest monument of the Vladimir-Suzdal architecture.
In addition to the church of Boris and Gleb in Kideksha, the warm Stephanieus church (1780 g .), The Holy Gates, dating back to the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, and a tented bell tower with a passage arch built around the same time as the gate .It is curious that up to the 20th century a bell, donated by Ivan the Terrible on the occasion of the capture of Kazan, hung from the tent bell tower, dated 1552 .Stephanie's same church, built in the best traditions of the execution of the Suzdal churches, consists of two volumes of different heights, and crowns its head on a thin drum .All three buildings and gates surprisingly make up a single architectural ensemble .
The best view of Kidekshu opens from the shore of the Nerl or from the bridge over the river.
