Since 15th century this was the place to stay for people and sometimes even refuges from East side.

That's why here can be seen and visited the churches of different religious beliefs like Russian orthodox, Oldbelievers, Jews, Lutherans, Catholics, Armenians, Baptists.

In the darkest times of 20th century, the Jewish Ghetto was placed here.
