It was cast in 1895 to commemorate the coronation of Nicholas II of Russia.〔http://www.ruschudo.ru/miracles/130/〕 ;Submersion When Joseph Stalin ordered the construction of the Uglich Dam in 1939 to form the Uglich Reservoir, the old part of Kalyazin, including several medieval structures, were submerged under the reservoir's waters. This included the Saint Nicholas Monastery and Troitsky Makariev Monastery. The katholikon was dismantled, while the campanile was left, a landmark towering above the water.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flooded Belfry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
