Church of Nicholas the Wonderworker
Church
Open Details
Old Believers used to live in Bynhy. Many things have been preserved here from tsarist times: old huts, the surrounding landscape and churches.
In Bynhy there are two churches: St. Nicholas and St. Kazan. The last one was laid in 1789, consecrated in 1797, and since then it has never been closed.
Inside Nikolskaya church the icon decoration was kept. During the Soviet times it was not plundered. The abundance of a cast iron in the church is unusual. The cast-iron plates covered the floor and stairs. The church is unusual for the presence of chimes on the bell tower.
Not far from the Nicholas church in Lenin street remained carved wooden houses of the second half of the XIX and early XX centuries.

Nevyanskaya Tower
Historic Site
Open Details
Next we're going to Nevyansk. Here is the famous sloping tower. It is shrouded in many legends. It is not known exactly in what year it was built, who its architect is and why it is inclined.
According to one of the hypotheses, the soil under the tower began to subsidize during construction, and the construction sloped. Different angles of slope on the ground floor and the top floor of the tower point to that.
The inside of the tower can only be accessed on a guided tour. There you will visit the listening room, climb the tower bell tower, see the chime mechanism and watch a theatrical performance.
You can sign up for the tour at site of the Nevian Historical and Architectural Museum. It is better to make an appointment in advance, especially if you go on weekends. The tower is open to you daily from 9 to 19, on Wednesdays from 9 to 20.

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral
Temple
Open Details
You can see the temple of Alexander Nevsky from afar. It stands in Shural on a small hill. The temple is rather young: it was laid in 1906.
The wasteland around the temple used to have a cemetery. Now only rare ancient marble tombstones remind us of it.
