🌅 Bell tower of the Transfiguration Cathedral

Кремль, у Дома Советов

A bell tower 51.5 m tall, rebuilt for the city's 800th anniversary — the highest viewpoint in the kremlin.

The bell tower stands on the site of the belfry of the Transfiguration Cathedral, blown up in 1929.
A stone octagonal bell tower with a tent roof was first built here after the fire of 1715.
It was rebuilt in its 18th-century form and opened on 12 June 2021, for the 800th anniversary of Nizhny Novgorod.
On 31 December 2020 a chiming clock with four dials was started above the bell tier.
From the top you can see the whole fortress, the Dmitrovskaya Tower, both rivers and the Strelka.
