The monument to Tsar Ivan IV the Terrible was erected in Alexandrov in 2019 on the embankment of the Seraya River. Ivan the Terrible ruled in Alexandrovskaya Sloboda for 17 years, effectively moving the capital of the state here.

The merchant's palace of the 17th century is notable for its austerity and asceticism. It currently houses an archaeological exposition named Gorokhovets in Russian History: Heritage of Generations. The Kanonnikov brothers, owners of the house, were regarded as ‘prominent citizens’ of Gorokhovets. They held high elective positions in the ‘civil services’.

Built in 1806-1811, the Trading Rows are the first Empire-style building in the city.
