    Cineyevo village

    The village of Chineaevo was founded in 1732. A century later, a wooden Modest Church appeared here, which in 1900 was rebuilt from stone and named after St. Vlasia and Modest, patrons of animals and cattle breeding.
    The church was unwanted in Soviet times. In 1961, the domes were ripped off it, the iconostasis was destroyed, and the icons laid out a path from the district house of culture to the toilet. Thus, the valuables taken from the ancestors died. Today, the church is in ruins.
    Another attraction is the monument, marking the geographical center of the Kurgan region. Physicists, geographers and programmers calculated the center of the Trans-Ural region. Nearby is the sign "kilometre zero", which became a starting point for travelers.

    Church of the Savior Not Made by Handicraft

    Sladkokarasinskoye village was founded back in 1750s. The old church of the Savior Not Made by Hands - the first church of the same faith on the territory of the huge Orenburg province - has been preserved here.
    In the 1930s, due to religious persecution, the church was closed. In the abandoned building, the residents placed a modest wooden cross and several icons. The temple is very dilapidated, but nobody is going to restore it yet.

    Ivinsk mill

    Near the cemetery of cars is the oldest mill in the Urals - Ivinskaya. It has been working since 1896, stopping only on big orthodox holidays. Surprisingly, the complex of buildings made of red brick and wood can be visited without special permission and payment.
    Steam mill was built near the river Yurgamysh by the enterprising owner of shops YA Ivin. He was remembered as a careful owner who took care of simple workers. After his death, the mill was run by his adopted son Dmitry - an illegitimate child, Ivin was brought up by a well-known excise official.

    Ascension Church

    The Ascension Church in the village of Zakomaldino was built in 1894 at the expense of parishioners. The church has an unusual architecture, which is in dilapidated condition. During the Soviet era, the church housed a workshop, a gym and a mill. Today the church is in operation, but for more than 10 years the restoration of the building and the surrounding area has been underway.
