Lgov, Administrative center in Kursk Oblast, Russia
Lgov stands on both banks of the Seym River, positioned 80 kilometers west of Kursk at an elevation of 150 meters above sea level.
The settlement, initially named Olgov, received its first written mention in Russian chronicles during 1152 and obtained official town status in 1779.
The town gained literary recognition through Ivan Turgenev's work 'A Sportsman's Sketches', which detailed the local hunting activities in the region.
The railway station in Lgov operates with five tracks, serving as a transportation hub for the surrounding Kursk Oblast region.
A powerful F2/T5 tornado struck Lgov in September 2022, causing extensive damage to over 200 structures across the municipal area.
