Photo and description

In 2001, a historical complex of buildings from the middle of the seventeenth century was reconstructed in Ulyanovsk. The restoration of the Simbirsko-Karsunskaya serif line was reproduced in its original version thanks to excavations. In 1987, a part of a ditch, a rampart and a fragment of an ancient wooden palisade, discovered by archaeologists, served as the beginning of research and archaeological discoveries.

The Simbirsko-Karsun notch line is a defensive line of the Moscow state, which protected the inhabitants of the country from constant ruin from nomads from the number of Mongol-Tatars. The construction of the notch line began in the spring of 1647 by the steward and voivode Bogdan Khitrovo (founder of the cities of Simbirsk and Karsun) and continued until 1654. The defensive line that defended great Russia consisted of fences, impenetrable forests, towers and gatehouses and stretches for hundreds of kilometers from the Urals to Ukraine. One of such fragments of the serif line was found by archaeologists in the center of the city of Ulyanovsk near Lenin and L. Tolstoy streets, in the courtyard of a residential building, which served as the opening of the open-air museum. the line with a watchtower in the Old Russian style quickly became a popular landmark of the city. Visitors to the historical and architectural complex have the opportunity to travel back to ancient times and watch a theatrical performance, and in the exposition "Russian Army of the Seventeenth Century" you can see the uniforms and weapons of soldiers, as well as dummies of weapons and a real cannon of that time.
