The town of Biruch in the Belgorod region was founded in 1705. Unique historical stone buildings have been preserved here, among which the trading rows built in 1782 by local entrepreneurs stand out. These rows consist of two ancient buildings with rectangular and L-shaped forms.

By the end of the 18th century, most local residents were engaged in agriculture and trade, as owners of distilleries eagerly bought surplus grain. Since Biruch was located at the crossroads of trade routes from Voronezh to Valuyki and from Novy Oskol to Ostrogozhsk, a lively fair could thrive here.

These prospects attracted the attention of local merchant families Zvorikins, Tibenikhin, and Sanjarov. They decided to jointly build a full-fledged trading row in Biruch and invited the renowned architect Mikhail Kazakov for this purpose.

Their plans came to fruition: the town began to develop rapidly, and the new trading rows became a public center. By the mid-19th century, the largest fairs in the Voronezh province were held in Biruch, where not only grain and agricultural products were traded but also various handicrafts.

During the Soviet era, the trading rows were converted into shops. Over time, the buildings began to deteriorate, and in the 1970s, employees of the regional society for the protection of monuments raised the alarm. As a result, in the 1980s, the trading rows were partially restored.

Only in 1999 were these buildings recognized as a monument of federal significance and transferred to the management of the local museum of local lore.
