In 1152, Prince Yuri Dolgoruky built a small white stone Church, dedicating it to his patron Saint George the victorious. In 1230, Prince Svyatoslav Vsevolodovich ordered to destroy the grandfather's building, as it "decayed and broken", and in its place in 1230-1234 was built St. George's Cathedral, which became the top of Vladimir-Suzdal architecture and the last white stone building in front of the Mongol-Tatar invasion
