In 2003-2004, on the initiative of the President of Ukraine, Leonid Kuchma, large-scale restoration works were carried out with the financing of the Ministry of Transport. The city quarters have been partially reconstructed, the station building stands out for its modern architecture, and a high-class hotel and restaurant have been opened.
Otherwise, Novhorod-Siverskyi remains a quiet provincial town with a leisurely life.
Новгород-Сіверський - найпівнічніше місто України, одне з найдавніших на території країни.
Виникло у X столітті як одна з фортець Київської Русі на річці Десна. Перша письмова згадка у 1078 році у відомому "Повчанні дітям" Володимира Мономаха.
З 1097 року Новгород-Сіверський став столицею Сіверського князівства. Невдалий похід Новгород-Сіверського князя Ігоря Святославовича на половців у 1185 році послугував сюжетом для шедевра давньоруського епосу "Слово о полку Ігоревім". З давніх часів зберігся оборонний Спасо-Преображенський монастир (XII століття), кілька храмів та інших архітектурних пам'яток в центрі.

У 2003-2004 роках за ініціативи президента України Леоніда Кучми при фінансуванні Мінтрансу проведені масштабні реставраційні роботи. Міські квартали частково реконструйовані, виділяється сучасною архітектурою будівля вокзалу, відкрито високорівневий готель і ресторан.
В іншому Новгород-Сіверський залишається тихим провінційним містечком з неквапливим життям.

Castle Hill
Historic area
Castle Hill is a hill above the Desna River, on which an ancient Rus fortress was built in the 10th century, which later became the capital of the Novhorod-Siverskyi principality.
From the 12th century, the wooden fortress with earthen ramparts was the residence of the Olhovychi dynasty, defending the eastern borders of Kyivan Rus. The entrance was made through one gate, inside was the princely court and the stone cathedral of Arch-strategist Michael. On three sides, the baby was surrounded by the surrounding city, where the Saint Nicholas Church was built (now in its place is a wooden church of the same name from 1762).
In the second half of the 14th century, the fortress passed into the hands of Lithuanian princes, in 1503 it went to Muscovy, then to Poland, until it was recaptured by Bohdan Khmelnytskyi. In 1708, the fortress was occupied by Peter I, fortified, but soon lost its importance and was destroyed.
A monument to the legendary Boyan, the author of "The Tale of Ihor's Campaign", as well as a commemorative stone, was erected at the place of the prince's baby.
