History of the city

The city's layout was formed mainly in the 17th century, the trading area at the pier became the center of the fan-building of the right bank, and on the left bank the streets ran parallel and perpendicular to the river. The general plan of the city was approved in 1790. During the Great Patriotic War the city was on the territory occupied by the enemy, it was subjected to severe destruction. Modern buildings are built according to the plans of 1964 and 1980, and, alas, there is little that differs from what can be seen in other cities.

Leskov, Mtsensk and the legends of the city
Thanks to the talent of the great Russian writer Leskov, the author of the book "Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk district", and the subsequent incarnations of the plot on the screen and the stage, Mtsensk attracts interest among literature lovers and professional literary critics: life in this city has created a dramatic situation, not to say tragic .In the city there is a legend that in the house number 10 on the current street of the World lived once Katerina Izmaylova, who became almost a complete prototype of the heroine of the Leskov novel .Literary critics are prepared to argue that the legend does not correspond to reality, but the talented book outweighs scientific facts and tourists pensively walk along Mir street, trying to imagine the life of a freelance Russian city in the first half of the 19th century .
Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Mtsensk
In the city there are a number of monuments of architecture, including temples of the 17-19th centuries: the Ascension church, the Vvedenskaya church with the bell tower, the Trinity church, merchant houses. 12 km from Mtsensk there is Spasskoye-Lutovinovo, the family estate of Turgenev, now the museum-reserve.
Temples and monasteries of Mtsensk
In the north-western part of the city there are some buildings of the Peter and Paul Monastery founded here in the 16th century, and on the high, almost steep bank - the five-domed Church of the Introduction, which was originally a cathedral of the monastery, and in 1694 became a parish.
At the intersection of the street. Karl Marx and Pionerskaya can see the Church of the Exaltation of the Cross of the Lord, built in the style of classicism in 1818. It was in this church that for three days the body of Alexander I was located on the way from Taganrog to Moscow.
On the territory of the Archangel Monastery it is worth to see the Ascension Church. During the years of Soviet power, it, like many others in Russia, was used not for its intended purpose, but it was restored and is now handed over to believers. Unfortunately, some churches in the city lost their cult shape during the Soviet period, so the chapel of Nicholas the Miracle-Worker erected on Mount Samorod on the site of the Nikolaevsky Cathedral, which was blown up in 1930, is of special importance for the city.
On the present street of Lenin preserved merchants' mansions built here in the late 18th - early 19th centuries. Thanks to them, the city center makes a pleasant impression and looks pretty colorful.
