Muromtsevo

Muromtsevo lies in the wooded country south of Vladimir. It first appears in the census books of 1678 as a small estate belonging to the Khonenev brothers. Like other settlements in the district between Vladimir and Murom, it formed part of a landscape of noble estates and villages among the forests. The estate later passed to the Khrapovitsky family, while the nearby village of Moshok remained a centre of the larger Vorotynsky lands.
