   Cathedral of the Resurrection

   Воскресенский собор

   Built in 1698–1716, this cathedral is the largest church in Lalsk. It is a five-domed temple square, but its five cupolas are not the same, as is often the case in mid-latitudes. The middle is larger, the other four are smaller, but all the chapels are small, which is typical of the north and especially for Veliky Ustyug. The cathedral is decorated with an arcade of Ustyug ceramic tiles.

   Усадьба купца Шестакова

   Shestakov was the owner of the paper factory, which was and still is the main business in Lalsk, and he spared no expense for this huge, wooden merchant manor. It is a three-story house with outbuildings. The building is not particularly elegant, but is notable for its size. Sadly, it is abandoned (the windows are boarded up), with an unclear future.
