Svyato-Troitsky Convent

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.

History, Architecture and Art Museum of Yuriev-Polsky

The History, Architecture and Art Museum in Yuriev-Polsky is one of the best known provincial museums of Russia's Golden Ring. Located in the territory of the Michael the Archangel Monastery, the museum includes the displays that are dedicated to the history of the city, P.I. Bagration, a famous war chief, and the old Russian painting art.

Oparin's House

Oparins' House is of great interest for researchers of civil architecture of Old Russian towns of the 17th century and is one of the most remarkable historical and cultural monuments of Gorokhovets. Unlike other merchant's palaces of the period, the house has undergone few changes and retains an almost pristine appearance.

Merchants' Rows in Kovrov

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.

Svyato-Blagoveshchensky Monastery

The Murom Blagoveshchensky (Annunciation) Monastery was established in 1553 by Tsar Ivan the Terrible. It was erected on the site of a modest wooden church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Its construction is attributed to Prince Konstantin (Yaroslav) Svyatoslavich, the son of Prince Svyatoslav of Chernigov, the grandson of the great Prince Yaroslav the Wise of Kiev.
