Yuriev-Polsky

Yuryev-Polsky was a small Rurikid appanage on the upper Koloksha in the Vladimir-Suzdal lands. Founded by Yury Dolgoruky in 1152, the town was ruled in 1337 by Prince Yaroslav Ivanovich.

Around 1340 Moscow bought the local princely rights and incorporated the appanage. The dome of the white-stone Cathedral of St. George collapsed in the 1460s, burying many of its sculptures; the Muscovite artisan Vasili Yermolin restored its roof in 1471.
