History
In 1237, the town was destroyed by the troops of the Mongol Khan Batu Khan, who invaded Russia. It was part of the Gorodets principality. In 1380, Yuryevets soldiers participated in the Battle of Kulikovo. In 1593-1594, the "Sotnaya Gramota of 1593/94 on the posad of Yuryevets Povolsky" was compiled, the first census - a unique document on the history of the 16th century. In 1552, by decree of Ivan IV, Yuryevets was transferred to the udel of the Astrakhan prince Kaibula. In 1556 Ivan the Terrible assigned Yuryevets to the oprichnina.
In January 1609, in Yuryevets, the local militia under the leadership of the sorcerer Fyodor Krasny rose up against the Polish-Lithuanian interventionists. In the same year, 1609, the town was burned by the Polish-Lithuanian detachment of the Polish nobleman Aleksander Jozef Lisowski. In 1614, it was plundered by ataman Ivan Zarutsky. A new ostrog was built on Predtechenskaya Gora. The length of its walls was 700 m, there were two gates. In 1619-1620, in honor of the victory over the Polish-Lithuanian interventionists, by order of the posad people, the Epiphany Church was erected (the current building was built around 1720).
