Old Demidovsky plant and the spiritual capital of the Urals

The journey begins! Before the trip, we recommend filling a full tank of quality fuel at Gazprom Neft's filling stations, and at the same time buying water and snacks on the way.

In 10 minutes drive from Nevyansk is located the Old Believers' village of Byngi. At the beginning of the XVIII century there was built an ironworks here, but nothing left of it. But one of the oldest temples in the Urals has been preserved - the temple in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, consecrated in 1796. Ancient Nevian icons, openwork cast-iron elements and ancient chimes made the temple a monument of history and culture of federal importance. In addition to it, many beautiful carved houses have been preserved in Byngy - examples of 19th century wooden architecture.

Visit with a tour (need to book in advance) the eco-industrial park "Old Demidovsky plant".
The museum was created on the basis of the factory founded in 1725. So now you can trace all the stages of development of industrial technologies for more than 200 years.
The unique exposition includes blast furnaces of the 18th century, a water tower and a mechanical workshop from 1892.
