The town of Opochka, the administrative center of the Opochetsky district of the Pskov region, grew out of a fortress built in 1414 on the bend of the Velikaya River. The fortress more than once served as a good defense against the attacks of Lithuanians and Germans, but gradually lost its defensive importance due to the expansion of the borders of the Russian state.
