Kamyshlov: history, attractions, photos

The city of Kamyshlov is located on the banks of the Pyshma River, at the mouth of its tributary Kamyshlovka. It is 135 kilometers away from Yekaterinburg. In terms of population, this is a small town with a population of about 26 thousand people, but it is a culturally and historically amazing settlement in Russia. The city of Kamyshlov, Sverdlovsk region, is an ancient city founded in 1668. What is his history and fate? How does the city live now? Which of its attractions have survived to this day?

Origin of the name

There is a legend about the origin of the name of the city, which tells that a highway once passed through the city of Kamyshlov. The city was located in the valley of the Pyshma River, where a lot of reeds grew. The prisoners were driven along the highway, and when they saw a happy opportunity in the form of reed thickets, as soon as they approached the city, they escaped and hid in the reeds. The guards were forced to catch them in these thickets, that is, it turned out to be fishing in the reeds, since then the settlement was nicknamed “Kamyshlov”.

Geographical location of Kamyshlov

The city of Kamyshlov is located in the southeast of the Sverdlovsk region in the zone of the vast forest-steppe Trans-Urals, on the left bank of the Pyshma River, east of the regional center the city of Yekaterinburg. The distance to the city of Yekaterinburg is 143 km, to the city of Moscow - 1956 km.

The city of Kamyshlov occupies a favorable transport and geographical position on the Yekaterinburg-Tyumen railway and the Yekaterinburg-Tyumen federal highway, providing its external connections. The entire border of the municipal formation “Kamyshlov city” runs with the municipal formation “Kamyshlovsky district”.

The total area of ​​the territory of the municipal formation “city of Kamyshlov” is 5175 hectares. The forests are predominantly coniferous - pine. Rivers: Pyshma, Kamyshlovka. Minerals: diatomaceous clay.

The roads connecting the city of Kamyshlov with neighboring settlements have an asphalt concrete surface.

In the northern and southern directions of the city of Kamyshlov there are roads: Kamyshlov - Irbit, Kamyshlov - Shadrinsk.

Historical sketch

The city of Kamyshlov was founded in 1668, when a fort was built here to protect against attacks by nomads. A small settlement soon formed around the fort, initially called Kamyshlovskaya Sloboda.

Since 1781, the settlement became a district town of the Yekaterinburg region.

In 1856, the city had one church, 335 houses, and 45 shops.

By the end of the 19th century, it became a merchant's area, and there were already about 20 shops selling bread and bakery products. There was a distillery, a tannery and a candle factory, and there were four mills. A district and religious school, a women's gymnasium, a library, a printing house, an icon-painting workshop, and five churches were built. The city hosted two large fairs - Pokrovskaya and Tikhonovskaya.

In 1885, a railway was built through the city of Kamyshlov.

During the Great Patriotic War, new production enterprises were opened in Kamyshlov: a bakery, a mechanical repair plant.

In February 1946, the city of Kamyshlov was separated from the Sverdlovsk region of the Kamyshlovsky district and classified as a city of regional subordination.

In the post-war period, a garment factory, metalworking and electrical plants were built here.

Born in the city: Naumov A. - historian, Gridnev P. - breeder, Shchipachev S. - poet.

The city's attractions

The city has about 12 architectural and historical monuments, 5 of which are under special state protection.

On the territory of the city of Kamyshlov, numerous buildings of merchant houses, both wooden and stone, have been preserved, many of them are under special state protection and are architectural monuments of the 19th century.

The main attraction of the city is the Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the stone structure of which was built in 1814. Consecrated in 1821. During the years of Soviet power it was closed and resumed its spiritual activities only in 1990. Currently the temple is operational.

The next interesting building, in architectural terms, is the two-story building of the former orphanage and the Church of Michael of Chernigov. The buildings were built at the expense of the merchant Mikhail Rozhnov. The orphanage housed cripples and orphans. The merchant built a temple and an orphanage to atone for his guilt before his wife, who instead of him went to hard labor in Siberia. Currently, the building houses the College of Education.

In the city of Kamyshlov there is a mass grave in which executed sailors from the battleship Potemkin are buried. In their honor, there is a monument at the site of their burial.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Pavel Bazhov lived with his wife in Kamyshlov. Before the 1917 revolution, he taught Russian at the city theological school. And in 1918 he was elected mayor. In the 1920s he worked as editor of the local newspaper “Red Path”. Two houses in which he lived have survived to this day.

In Kamyshlov there is a local history museum, the exhibitions of which tell about nature, history, temples of the region and the city.

The railway station building, which was built in 1885 and is also an architectural monument.

Not far from the city is the Obukhovsky sanatorium, famous for its healing springs.

Near the city of Kamyshlov there are two pine forests, Nikolsky and Kamyshlovsky, with vegetation unique to these places.

"Fortress" on the southern borders

Each city, like a person, has its own purpose, its own calling. Most cities in the Middle Urals, from the beginning of their history to the present day, have been factory centers—craft cities. But there are cities with other destinies. Common features can be traced in the history of Irbit and Kamyshlov.

The resettlement of Russian peasants in the Middle Urals occurred from north to south, since in the southern territories the nomads offered greater resistance to the settlers. Moving from the north from Verkhoturye along the eastern slope of the Ural Mountains, the Russians consolidated along the rivers flowing from west to east. First, settlements-settlements with wooden fortresses-fortresses are established, and around them peasants already settle and villages arise. Such settlements were founded a little earlier, in 1631, in northern Irbit, and in 1668, in Kamyshlov. Thus, Kamyshlov’s first calling, like Irbit’s, is the profession of a warrior, a pioneer, and an administrator for the surrounding villages.

The name of the founder of Kamyshevskaya Sloboda is known - this is Semyon Budakov. By 1679, he completed the construction of a fort on the Kamyshlovka River for “protection from Kalmyk and Bashkir military people.” In memory of the founder of the city, the glorious beginning of the history of Kamyshlov, a monument was erected next to the Intercession Cathedral.

In the second half of the 18th century, the Babinovskaya road from European Russia through Verkhoturye to Siberia became an anachronism. The southern territories had already been developed, many factory settlements appeared here: therefore, instead of the Babinovskaya road, a new one was laid - the Siberian Highway. In 1763 he passed through Kamyshevskaya Sloboda. The tract gave many villages a real impetus for growth and development. But perhaps Kamyshlov took advantage of this advantage best of all in the Middle Urals. A large grain trading center of the Trans-Urals arose here, supplying grain and flour throughout the Urals and Siberia. The grain trade brought along associated industries and trades. And in Irbit, since the 18th century, the famous fair has been developing, which by this time had acquired the status of an all-Russian one.

Former city government

The consequences were not long in coming. In 1775, Irbit received the status of a city, and in 1781, Kamyshlov received this status. Both of them change their military profession to that of a merchant. By the way, before the revolution, there were only 7 cities in the entire Middle Urals. In addition to those mentioned - the very first Verkhoturye and Turinsk, at the same time as Irbit and Kamyshlov, Yekaterinburg, Krasnoufimsk and Alapaevsk became cities.

Merchant mansion

In the capitalist 19th century, Kamyshlov received another advantage - the Siberian Railway passed through the city. There is a legend that Kamyshlov merchants bribed their superiors so that the railway would pass through Kamyshlov. The map clearly shows that the railway near the city makes a bend towards Kamyshlov. Since then, most of the trade caravans to the famous Irbit fair traveled through Kamyshlov.

The commercial development of Kamyshlov and Irbit led to large stone construction in these cities in the 19th - early 20th centuries, which was inaccessible to most Central Ural villages of that time. The buildings, varied in their architecture and decoration, became part of the appearance of these cities. Classicism and modernity, details of medieval styles, eclectic fantasies - all this was embodied in the streets of Kamyshlov and Irbit. Among the small towns of the Middle Urals, such examples can no longer be found. For lovers of old provincial architecture, we advise you to find time to stroll through the central part of these old cities, look into the courtyards and make your own discoveries.

Intercession Cathedral in Kamyshlov: there would have been no happiness, but misfortune helped

The Intercession Cathedral is the main symbol of the city of Kamyshlov, well known to residents of the Urals due to the fact that its image adorns the labels of the local, well-known mineral water “Obukhovskaya”. But besides everything else, the Intercession Church is one of the most outstanding churches built in the 19th century in the Middle Urals. The history of its construction is very unusual.

Label with the image of the Intercession Cathedral on a bottle of Obukhovskaya mineral water

The cathedral has been closed and rebuilt several times throughout its history. The construction of the temple began in 1821; the famous Ural architect M. P. Malakhov took part in its design. By 1828, the temple was built in the classical style. According to tradition, originating in the Middle Urals in the first half of the 18th century, the temple was two-story with an elongated three-part volume. The huge carved iconostasis in the main altar of the six-altar church was made in the workshop of the famous Moscow master Stepan Golyshev.

But due to errors during construction, already in 1833 the ceiling collapsed, and services in the temple were suspended. Only in 1858 the reconstruction was completed, the cathedral acquired a new dome, which was no longer made in the classical style, but in the then fashionable eclectic style with a predominance of “Russian” elements.

But later there was a new attack. In an article for 1887, it is written about this: “one must think that the builders were in a hurry with their work: the bell tower of the cathedral is noticeably askew and threatens to fall, which would do well to pay attention to whoever should.”

As a result, in 1890 the bell tower was rebuilt and acquired a unique, well-remembered design in the Middle Urals. The new bell tower embodies the features of several architectural styles. Here you can see elements of Russian style, Gothic, and even Renaissance architecture. Thus, such a long construction of the temple led to the embodiment of many styles and architectural trends in its appearance. But they combine so organically that the result is an original, memorable and harmonious temple, one of the best in the Middle Urals.

At the very origins of the revival of Orthodoxy

Like many churches, the Intercession Church was closed in 1932. After some time, a local garment factory set up a warehouse in the cathedral building, and even later a cinema began operating here. In 1983, at the very beginning of the revival of Orthodox communities in the country, the Intercession community was formed in Kamyshlov, the very first in 30 years in the Sverdlovsk region.

House of Prayer for the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste, operated from 1984 to 1991

To get rid of the Orthodox grandmothers-petitioners, the authorities allowed them to buy a small house on the outskirts near the cemetery (in the area of ​​​​the current Church of the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste). In this house, the first real functioning church under Soviet rule in the Sverdlovsk region since the time of Khrushchev, consecrated in honor of the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste, was equipped.

The modern history of the Intercession Cathedral and the Church of the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste originate from this small temple.

New birth of the Intercession Cathedral

Photo by Alexey Rychkov The revival of the cathedral since 1987 became possible thanks to the intervention of representatives of the French embassy. And it was like this. The priest of the newly opened parish in Kamyshlov, Father Valery Shilov, and two spiritual sisters went to Moscow. There they were able to submit, through the French embassy, ​​a petition with numerous signatures from parishioners for the return of the Intercession Cathedral to the believers. Only in this way, through international channels, were the Soviet authorities forced to give the cathedral to Kamyshlov’s believers (a unique case in the Middle Urals at that time). On August 1, 1987, the first subbotnik took place near the building of the Intercession Cathedral. The official transfer of the cathedral to the Church took place in 1990, and in the same year the temple was consecrated.

The ancient frescoes in the Intercession Cathedral are very well preserved. These paintings deserve special attention. Today, among the shrines of the temple, believers celebrate the especially revered icon of St. Tikhon, Bishop of Amafunt, which was miraculously restored after the long closure of the temple. Also in the temple there are icons with particles of the relics of the holy righteous Simeon of Verkhoturye, the holy martyrs Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna and the nun Varvara.

Temple of Michael of Chernigov

The history of the Prince Michael Church, which operated at an orphanage before the revolution, is interesting. Today this building is occupied by a pedagogical college, over the structure of which the domes and bell tower of the temple have been preserved to this day.

The former Prince Michael's Church at the orphanage at the beginning of the 21st century

One of the legends tells how the Ekaterinburg merchant M. Rozhnov built a shelter and a church in 1894. A loving millionaire's mistress dies under mysterious circumstances. In a rage, Rozhnov accuses his wife of murder, who was convicted and sent to settle in Siberia. Soon the merchant came to his senses, got a meeting with his wife, who at that time was being held in Kamyshlov, on the way to Siberia, and began to beg for forgiveness.

The unfortunate woman replied that she would forgive her husband on one condition: here in Kamyshlov, on a vacant lot, onto which the windows of her dungeon overlooked, the merchant must build an orphanage and a church for the unfortunate orphans.

Today there is a project to revive the temple.

Four Saints of Kamyshlov

The fates of nine saints - the Ural holy martyrs - are connected with the city of Kamyshlov and its surrounding villages. This is a rare example in the Middle Urals, with which in the entire metropolitan area outside Yekaterinburg can only be compared with the cities of Verkhoturye, Kamensk-Uralsky and Artemovsky. Four of the nine holy martyrs are directly related to the history of Kamyshlov.

Deacon Georgy Begma, after graduating from theological school in 1905, began serving in the Church as a psalm-reader at the Intercession Cathedral in the city of Kamyshlov. Later he served in various churches, but was brutally murdered in July 1918 at the Sinara station. Canonized as a saint in 2002.

Another martyr associated with the history of the Intercession Cathedral is Father Sergius Uvitsky. Since 1913, he served as rector at the Kamyshlovsky Theological School. From 1918, with a short break until 1920, he was rector of the Intercession Church. His arrest in June 1920 interrupted his ministry. In 1930, he was arrested again and sentenced to 5 years in the camps, where he died in 1932 in a camp on the Belamorkanal. In 2010 he was canonized.

The former building of the religious school, associated with the name of Father Sergius Uvitsky, is located very close to the Intercession Cathedral (see on the map above), at 23 Karl Marx Street. Nowadays it houses a department of the central regional hospital. In 1914, the future famous Ural writer P. P. Bazhov taught at the school.

Priest Vasily Militsyn, the only one among the holy martyrs whose destinies were connected with Kamyshlov, died directly in Kamyshlov. He received his education at the Kamyshlovsky district school. Later he served in various parishes, including Kamyshlovsky district. This is where the civil war found him. In the summer of 1918, during the “red” terror unleashed by the Bolsheviks, he was captured, taken to Kamyshlov and here shot among dozens of other victims. Canonized as a saint in 2002.

Father Nikolai Biryukov, another canonized priest, is associated with the history of Kamyshlov. For several years in the 1880s, he served as a psalm-reader in the All Saints Church in the village of Zakamyshlovsky (now a district within the city).

In the vicinity of Kamyshlov, from the end of the 18th century, many beautiful and interesting temples were built, representing different styles of architecture. Alas, most of them were destroyed or severely damaged in the 20th century.

The oldest stone temple on the Kamyshlov land was built in the Peter the Great Baroque style in the village of Kalinovskoye by 1787. Today, only a two-story skeleton without a dome and a bell tower has survived from its former grandeur. But in recent years, a slow revival of the temple has begun.

Classicism in pure forms is quite a rare phenomenon in the Middle Urals, especially considering the destroyed churches. The best example of this style in the vicinity of Kamyshlov is the Sretensky Church in the village of Nikolskoye. Another example of the classical style is the Trinity Church in the village of Zakharovskoye, which is now being restored.

Even on the scale of the entire Middle Urals, the temple of the Bogolyubskaya Icon of the Mother of God, in the village of Galkinskoye near Kamyshlov, is original. The temple was built in the 1840s. In its architecture, the Bogolyubskaya Church combines elements of classical and Russian styles. Perhaps this is the best temple in the Middle Urals, embodying the unity of these architectural styles in its appearance. The slender five-domed church with traditional Russian onion domes raised on high drums is truly impressive.

Other examples of the eclectic style are the Ascension Church in the village of Razdolnoye and the Simeonovsky Church in Obukhovsky.

Five saints of Kamyshlovsky district

The fates of five holy martyrs are connected with the Kamyshlovsky district! From 1908 to 1911, John Vishnevsky, who was shot in 1920, served as a psalm-reader at the Church of the Nativity of Christ in the village of Reutinsky. The temple was destroyed during the years of Soviet power.

The fates of two saints are connected with the Epiphany Church in the village of Kochnevskoye. From 1888 to 1904, Father Peter Korelin served as a priest in the church, and from 1909 to 1911, Konstantin Lebedev served as a deacon. The Epiphany Church in Kochnevskoye was rebuilt during the Soviet years; by now it has become very dilapidated, but is now being restored.

From 1888 to 1896, the future martyr Father Stefan Lukanin served as priest of the St. Nicholas Church in the village of Kurovskoye. Today the Kurovsky Church is in a devastated state, but the building still retains the main features of the appearance of the church. The building has well-preserved fresco paintings. The architecture of the temple is somewhat unusual. In the 1840s, it was built in the then usual classical style, two-story with an elongated volume. But 20 years later, the temple was expanded: a large cubic porch was formed around the bell tower, which gave the temple a somewhat unusual appearance.

From 1888 to 1892, the future priest New Martyr Konstantin Popov, who was brutally murdered in the bloody summer of 1918, served as a psalm-reader at the Sretensky Church in the village of Nikolskoye (the same one built in the classical style, see above). In the Sretensky Church, ancient fresco paintings are well preserved.
