Zlatin’s Lavki
Zlatin’s Lavki Complex
History
In the first quarter of the 17th century, in the Tula posad to the west of the Kremlin, behind the market square, there were two wooden churches: that of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa and the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos.
In 1650 a stone Intercession (Pokrovsky) church was built to replace the two wooden ones. In 1768 lightning struck the building, damaging the vaults, and the church was dismantled to the foundations.
By 1790 the Intercession Church was erected again, but in the devastating fire of 29 June 1834 it burned down completely. By 1838 it was rebuilt with church funds and donations from the people of Tula.
Behind the church there were six shops built in 1808 facing Pyatnitskaya Street. Later they became part of merchant Zlatin’s trading arcades.
During the 1834 fire the shops “burned together with the church so badly that even the walls were almost destroyed.” In 1863 the shops were restored and four of them were leased to townspeople and merchants.
From the beginning of the 20th century the buildings gradually deteriorated; only fragments of the facade wall survived. In 2019–2020, as part of the Governor’s “Tula Embankment” project and under the Presidential decree marking the 500th anniversary of the Tula Kremlin, a large-scale restoration of Zlatin’s Lavki was carried out.
The restored complex now includes the historical shopping rows—where, as in the 19th century, “bread goods” are sold—along with a café-wine bar and an apartment hotel with historically inspired room interiors.
Although the building was recreated almost from ruins, the atmosphere is truly historical. An antique clock, the staircase with the Zlatin’s Lavki logo, photos of old Tula, collected works of Russian literary classics, and custom-made classic furniture designed especially for this hotel—all emphasize the historical significance of the complex and create a refined setting for relaxation.

Everything was excellent: the location right by the Kremlin, a beautiful and convenient three-bedroom suite with three toilets — very handy for a group of friends (three families). The staff are very polite and client-oriented (they even gave the kids pencils and paper). Room-service food is excellent and was delivered quickly.

One of the best locations in Tula: all attractions are nearby, peace and quiet. Excellent views of the church from the windows. Private guarded parking for cars. Spacious rooms, fresh renovation. Everything is high-quality, the staff are polite and professional, breakfasts get a solid five. The price matches the quality!
