history

Turau was probably a center of the Slavic Dregoviches . It was first mentioned in the Nestor Chronicle in 980 . At this time a prince Tur is said to have ruled there, from whom the place takes its name. The Principality of Turov is one of the oldest of the Kievan Rus . In 1005 Turau became the seat of the first Orthodox eparchy in what is now Belarus. One of the first bishops was Kyrill von Turau . In 1230 Turow was destroyed by the Golden Horde .

In 1320/30 it came under the rule of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania . At the end of the 15th century it was given to Mikhail Glinski. In 1502 Turau was destroyed by the Tatars . In 1508 it was given to Hetman Konstantin Ostroschski . It remained in the family's possession for many years. In 1521 Turau was sacked again by the Tatars.
