After the destruction by the Mongols, the city began to revive only in the 14th century. Belonged to Lithuania, Poland, Russia. Since 1657, Oster has been the hundredth town of the Pereyaslav, then the Kyiv regiment, and since the beginning of the 19th century - the county town of the Chernihiv province. The Jewish community made a great contribution to the development (the synagogue and merchants' houses have been preserved).
You can still see Saint George's Church on the remains of the fortified settlement of the chronicle "Horodets na Vistra" - the eastern part of the Saint Michael Church of princely times has been preserved.
There is a local history museum in the city, founded more than a hundred years ago.
Стародавнє місто Остер розташоване на Десні, в 15 кілометрах на захід від Козельця.
Відоме з 1098 року як фортеця "Городець на Вістрі", яку заклав князь Володимир Мономах на торговому шляху Київ-Чернігів для захисту від половців.
В XII сторіччі князь Юрій Долгорукий зміцнив місто і побудував церкву на честь Архістратига Михаїла, який був покровителем Києва.
Після розорення монголами місто почало відроджуватися тільки в XIV столітті. Належало Литві, Польщі, росії. З 1657 року Остер - сотенне містечко Переяславського, потім Київського полку, а з початку XIX століття - повітове містечко Чернігівської губернії.

На залишках городища літописного "Городця на Вістрі" досі можна бачити Юр'єву божницю - збереглася східна частина Михайлівської церкви княжих часів.
У місті працює краєзнавчий музей, заснований більше ста років тому.

Yuryeva Bozhnytsia (Saint Michael's Church)
Temple , Architecture
Yuryeva Bozhnytsia in Oster - the eastern part of the Saint Michael's Church, preserved from princely times. It is located on the remains of the settlement of the historic Horodets on Vostri.
The temple was probably founded by Prince Volodymyr Monomakh of Kyiv at the same time as the founding of the city in 1098. It was rebuilt in 1152 under Prince Yuriy Dolhoruky, thanks to which the popular name "Yuryeva Bozhnytsia" took root.
It suffered from Tatar raids, and in 1753 - from a lightning strike, at the beginning of the 19th century, most of the volume was dismantled due to its state of disrepair. Only the altar part - the apse and a fragment of the wall - has been preserved.
At the beginning of the 20th century, restoration and research works were carried out. An ancient fresco "Eucharist" was discovered on the wall, probably made by Kyiv masters in the 11th-12th centuries.
