Information AboutSkniatino |
|
Ksniatin was intended as a fortress to defend the Nerl waterway, leading to Yuri's residence at Pereslavl-Zalesski , against Novgorod ians. The latter sacked it on several occasions, before the Mongol s virtually annihilated the settlement in 1239 . After that, it belonged to the princes of Tver and was devastated by their enemies in 1288 . By the 14th Century , the neighbouring towns of Kaliazin and Kashin superseded it in importance. Since 1459 , Ksniatin was documented as a mere village. Its Kremlin area and cathedral were flooded in 1939 , when they created the Uglich Reservoir . |
