The Uglich Kremlin is a historical and architectural complex in the historical center of the city of Uglich . It is located on the high right bank of the Volga River , between the Shelkovka River and the Stone Stream flowing into it, which provided natural protection for the fortress, reinforced by a moat dug from the Shelkovka to the Stone Stream.

Once the Kremlin was fortified with ramparts and wooden walls, which were repeatedly destroyed. The walls, towers and bridges were last restored in 1660-1662. A hundred years later they were dismantled due to dilapidation and uselessness. At present, only the remains of the moat remind of the former fortifications of the Kremlin.

From the past, an ensemble of buildings has been preserved, including the prince's chambers, the church of Dmitry Tsarevich, the Transfiguration Cathedral, the bell tower and the city council building.
