The oldest city in the Ivanovo region was founded by the Grand Duke of Vladimir Yuri Vsevolodovich to protect the eastern borders of North-Eastern Rus’. According to legend, an icon of St. George the Victorious appeared to him here. That is where the name of the city comes from.
The picturesque views of Yuryevets, spread out on the hills at the confluence of the Volga, Nemda and Unzha, inspired I. Levitan, A. Savrasov, B. Kustodiev and other famous artists. Yuryevets is inextricably linked with the name of Andrei Tarkovsky – he studied here in elementary school and called the city “the birthplace of childhood”.
On July 7, 2025, the Bank of Russia will issue into circulation a commemorative silver coin of 3 rubles denomination “800th Anniversary of the Founding of the City of Yuryevets” of the “Cities” series (catalog No. 5111-0522).
