Vorotynsk (Russian: Вороты́нск) is a former town located 17 km south of Kaluga in the Ugra National Park.[3] The town is thought to have been situated slightly downstream from the confluence of the Oka and the Ugra Rivers.
The village of Spas-on-the-Oka, which now marks the spot, is dominated by Saviour Vorotynsk Monastery, founded by one Prince Vorotynsky in the early 16th century. It is noted for two rare churches with pyramidal roofs, one dating from the 1560s, and another from the 1640s. There are also two villages, New Vorotynsk and Old Vorotynsk, located just south-west from the modern town of Kaluga.
