The Troitsky (Holy Trinity) Convent was founded on the site of the Old High Town, and Prince Konstantin, considered to be the baptist of Murom, put a wooden church in the name of Saints Boris and Gleb in its place in the 12th century. In 1642–1643, Tarasy Tsvetnov, a merchant, initiated the construction of a five-domed stone Holy Trinity Cathedral on the site of the old wooden church.

The monument to the Holy Blessed Prince Peter and Princess Fevronia can be seen near the walls of the Svyato-Troitsky Convent, in the Convent Glade.

The monument to Peter and Fevronia was unveiled on 7 July 2012 on the Krestyanina Square, between the Svyato-Troitsky Convent and the Blagoveshchensky Monastery. In ancient times on the Convent Glade there was the Prince's Court, so the monument is a symbolic return of the holy prince and princess to the place where they lived.

The two-metre bronze sculpture is mounted on a granite pedestal of the same height. The monument was created by Vladimir Surovtsev, a People's Artist of Russia at his own expense.

From 1924, it was the home of Vasily Degtyarev (1880–1949), a native of Tula, an outstanding designer of automatic firearms, a Major General of the Engineering and Artillery Service, a Doctor of Engineering Sciences, a Hero of Socialist Labour, and a four times laureate of the State Prize.

It is not just a museum where you can explore and understand the cultural code of the country, but also a living platform for supporting thousands of craftsmen across Russia. Master classes are held.

The Kovrov Merchants' Rows were built in 1892–1893. By the beginning of the 20th century, Kovrov became one of the most important industrial centres of the Vladimir region. The town had an iron foundry, a sawmill, several brick factories, and in 1916, it saw the start of construction of Russia's largest machine-gun factory. The industry development drove the city's growth. It was time when the Merchants' Rows were established.
