The market rows or Gostiny Dvor in Soligalich represent a unique architectural monument. The western wing of the old market rows, built between 1831 and 1833, is the only surviving wooden market row in Russia. Until recently, trade was conducted here, but now, unfortunately, they are in a deplorable state. The other two wings have not survived, and a stylized structure was built in 1995 on the site of one of them.

The Soligalich market rows were likely inspired by the stone tobacco and vegetable rows in Kostroma, which were constructed between 1819 and 1822 according to the design of architect V.P. Stasov. The provincial architect P.I. Fursov participated in the construction of the Soligalich rows.

Between 1831 and 1833, two wings were built on the banks of the Shashkov stream, framing the trading square, Red Square, from the southeast and southwest. Unlike other cities, these rows were owned by the city, and merchants rented them.

Here, products were mainly traded. The shops were rectangular in plan, arranged in sections, and had stone basements and storage attics. They were divided by solid log walls with stairs to the attic and basement. Heating was provided by stoves. By 1844, one wing had 14 shops, while the other had 20. Nearby were four butcher shops and a weigh station with large scales.

In 1853, an additional wing, the New Market Rows, was added to the eastern rows, which have not survived, featuring a brick foundation and a gallery with Tuscan columns. Currently, a stylized building from 1995 stands on this site.

Unlike the stone rows in Kostroma, the Soligalich rows were more intimate. This is not merely a copy of Stasov's architecture, but a creative reinterpretation in local traditions. In composition and decor, they resembled local barns from the 18th-19th centuries.

Unfortunately, only one wing, known as the 'Old Rows,' has survived to this day. Until recently, trade was bustling here, but now they are in an emergency state, covered with construction netting and surrounded by a fence. Restoration is not being carried out, and if urgent measures are not taken, this unique monument may be lost forever.

To the north of them is a small trading wing built in the 2000s in the style of ancient buildings.

The New Market Rows on the southeast side of Red Square are also styled to look old and were erected in 1995 on the site of the rows from 1853. The Old Rows that stood nearby have not survived.

There is hope that both wings of the old market rows will be restored, and Red Square will regain its historical appearance.
