PETER I IN VOLOGDA

For the first time, Peter I arrived in Vologda on May 4 1692. He was on Lake Kubenskoye, but he did not quite like it because of the shallows and the lake seemed small to him. In the future, a year later, on July 6, he was in Vologda for 3 days, just the city was on its way to the White Sea. The next time, a year later again, Peter arrived with a retinue. As we know, he also spent three days in Vologda, visiting Kozlenskaya Sloboda. He was very pleased with the perfect work of the Vologda craftsmen who twisted the ropes very well.
The fourth visit was in mid-May 1702 at the height of the Northern War. Peter I again passes through Vologda to Arkhangelsk. The king is very worried about the possible attack of the Swedes on Arkhangelsk from the White Sea. By his arrival, more than three hundred ships had been built for "fusing military shells and military men to Arkhangelsk."
Peter's penult visit to Vologda was in March 1724, when he and his wife Ekaterina Alekseevna were passing through the city on their way from the Olonets healing waters. But the arrival, which was not immediately found out, was in 1722. It turned out from the book of 1861 "Letters from Russian sovereigns and other persons of the royal family." The book contained a letter from Peter to his wife Ekaterina, where he wrote that everything was fine with him and that he would arrive on February 10!
Whenever Peter I came to Vologda, he stayed in his house. Not big, not great, with one floor. The house fits into one of the three types of buildings by Domenico Trezzini. He came all six times to Vologda and lived there. The place is quite popular as well as among visitors, so it is known to the residents of the city itself. Previously, the house remained in oblivion and served as a warehouse for flax and tow, but now it is a small museum that anyone can visit.
