[edit] History
In 1535, the Koryazhemsky Nikolaevsky Monastery was founded in the mouth of the Bolshaya Koryazhemka (hence the name). After the 1917 October Revolution the monastery was abolished, and the territories which previously belonged to the monastery were used for agriculture.In 1953, the construction of a big paper mill started, and in 1954 first brickstone houses were built. In 1957, the settlement around the paper mill was officially designated as the urban-type settlement of Koryazhma. The paper mill started operation in 1961. In 1975, the population of Koryazhma was 42 thousands. August 15, 1985, Koryazhma obtained the town rights and became the town of oblast significance.[9]
[edit] Administrative and municipal status
Administratively, it is incorporated as the town of oblast significance of Koryazhma—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[2] Municipally, the town of oblast significance of Koryazhma is incorporated as Koryazhma Urban Okrug.[3]
The town is surrounded by Kotlassky District, although it is neither administratively nor municipally a part of it. It also serves as the administrative center of Koryazhemsky Selsoviet, one of the twelve selsoviets into which Kotlassky District is administratively divided.

The only collection of historical buildings in Koryazhma is in the Koryazhemsky Nikolaevsky Monastery. The Church of the Holy Mandylion originates from 1746 and is one of the oldest stone churches in Arkhangelsk Oblast, and the Church of Saint Longin of Koryazhma, consecrated to the founder of the monastery, was built between 1907 and 1912. There is also the House of the Hegumen which forms a single ensemble with the Church of Saint Longin of Koryazhma. All these buildings are protected as cultural heritage of local importance.[11] The Annunciation Cathedral, the oldest stone building of the monastery (1665), and the bell-tower, were demolished in 1933.[12]
