==History== It was founded in 1613 largely to guard the holdings of I. N. Romanov, Tsar Michael I's uncle, and served as a border outpost protecting South Russia from the Crimean Tatars' incursions. The Trinity Monastery was established in 1621 and several churches were built by the end of the century; they are all now reduced to ruins.
