A little history
The first mention of Toropets refers to the chronicles of 1074, it is considered one of the first Russian cities. His history is rich in both glorious and sad events: in 1404 Lithuanians captured the city, under their rule, he stayed for a hundred years. Then Toropets fell under the power of the Poles, encroached on him and Ukrainian Cossacks, but still the city was liberated, made by the county, and his life flowed calmly and measuredly.
According to legend, in the 13th century Alexander Nevsky's wife brought to Korsun icon of God to Toropets The mother who was written by Evangelist Luke . Here she left her in memory of her wedding . In honor of the icon in the 17th century, the first stone cathedral of the city was built, later destroyed by a terrible fire . Today the cathedral was rebuilt, but the icon moved first in the museum, and after to the church of Alexander Nevsky in Kniazhoye Lake (Moscow region) . The inhabitants of the city sincerely hope that in the near future the icon will return to its native walls, good, there are all the prerequisites for it - the conditions of the relic's storage now fully correspond to the status of the icon .

Entertainment, excursions and attractions Toropets
Toropets is on the banks of two lakes - Solomeno and Zalikovskoe, which connect between themselves, dividing the city, the Toropa River. Zalikovskoe lake - a favorite place in the summer for rest and bathing of townspeople. But on Lake Solomena you can see the unique remains of the ancient fortresses of the 11th century - the Little High Town. Until now, only bulk mounds have been preserved here, from which a very picturesque view of the city opens.
The historical center of Toropets is located on Krasny Val Island. Favorite sight of citizens here is a monument to the teacher (they say, the only one in the whole of Russia), which stands, which is not surprising, opposite the school. Here it is worthwhile to see two cathedrals - the Korsun-Bogoroditsky church of the 18th century and the Epiphany Church. The latter was built in 1771, now it does not work: there is a museum of local lore in its walls (address: 2, Komsomolskaya St.). Nearby there is a monument to Admiral Peter Rikord and Alexander Nevsky's oak.
The shopping area of the city with a building of trading rows and "houses with columns" of the 18th century is also obligatory for inspection. On Nikitin Street, nearby, there is a remarkable wooden house in which Patriarch Tikhon spent his childhood. On the contrary - the Transfiguration Church of 1706.
You can complete the tour of the city in St. Tikhon's Monastery, where there are two ancient churches - Nikolskaya and Pokrovskaya.
