Brick, Orthodox church, built in 1864 at the expense of Colonel P. A. Krivtsov in the village, separated from the parish of Makariy-Prityk. A one-domed (probably originally five-domed) four-pillar building in the Russian-Byzantine style, built according to the exemplary design of K. A. Ton. There is no floor in this building, and many pigeons fly, sometimes they can even frighten, because the place is too quiet and calm. The church is pretty good...
In the 1930s, a spacious wooden club without any architectural decorations was built for holding meetings and various kinds of celebrations. In 1951-1952. the plant began construction of the Palace of Culture, which, however, dragged on until 1962. The new Palace was opened on April 19, 1962, on the eve of the anniversary of the birth of the leader, so he was given the name of Lenin. After 53 years, the Palace of Culture is closed due to lack of funding, there is no security, ...
The church was built in 1844-1882. Is in bad condition. The only thing that survived was iron window bars and two-meter wooden entrance doors. Inside the main large hall, thanks to the surviving dome, there is no abundant vegetation, which cannot be said about the neighboring room with a completely collapsed roof and trees sprouting from under the floor. The roof of the nearby belfry also has a small gap. Get to the top...
Abandoned church in the village of Pilekshevo. Year of construction 1854. Poor condition. There is no roof in the refectory, but frescoes are partially preserved on the ceiling of the temple. Climbing the bell tower will not work, its wooden structures burned down in a fire. But there is an opportunity to climb onto the roof of the temple, a wooden ladder is leaning against it (very unreliable appearance).
Abandoned bell tower of the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity in the village of Ichalki. Year of construction 1904. The church itself was demolished, and in its place a bridge was built across the Piana River. The condition is bad. Partially preserved are the internal wooden structures, but there are no stairs, which will make it very difficult to climb the bell tower.
The church is located in the village of Begovatovo, Arzamas region. Built in 1796-1798, closed and abandoned at the beginning of the 20th century. Style - baroque. From the outside, the object looks interesting, the cast-iron bars on the windows have been preserved, but inside there is almost nothing left. All church utensils have been moved to a wooden house, where the service is held, so the church is almost never visited. The village where the temple is located is dying out. Therefore, recovery is likely ...
In the Nizhny Novgorod region in the village of Kovrovo there is a wooden church built in 1785. The church is relatively small, and its condition leaves much to be desired. As of June 2014, the bell tower and the limit itself were intact, the roof had collapsed in the refectory. Paintings can still be seen in the main building.
Church of the Nativity. Year of construction: 1828. Material - brick. There is a cemetery around the church, some graves date back to the 19th century. There is a residential building next to the church, the residents are watching it. You can go unnoticed, but even so, if you talk, they will quietly let you through. There is practically no information about the church, the only thing that we managed to find out from local residents was that it was empty about 20 years ago, no one could give an exact figure ....
Every country and every city has its own scary tales based either on real events or fiction. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what's true and what's fiction. There were such tales in the Nizhny Novgorod region, telling about ghosts, underwater monsters, flooded cities and mystical forests. In this article, I have collected eight of the most interesting mystical legends of the Nizhny Novgorod region. Do you believe in them?
Ghosts of the Kamensky estate
In the very center of Nizhny Novgorod, there is an old mansion with columns, which looks out over the Volga from a high hill. on the Nizhnevolzhskaya embankment keeps many secrets and rightfully deserves to be in this rating. built city estate at the beginning of the 20th century for the family of merchants Kamensky, who owned their own river shipping company. But the owners did not live long in their luxurious mansion. In 1918, the head of the family was arrested for non-payment of tax, and after some time Kamensky had to flee to Moscow to escape persecution. The merchants left all the family heirlooms in the estate, hiding the treasures under the stairs. They hoped to return home someday, but they never did. In the seventies, the building was transferred to one of the municipal departments, and during its restoration, the worker discovered the very treasure that the runaway family had left until better times. Soon the builder was accused of stealing some of the valuables and sent into exile, where he died.
An urban legend says that a curse has been placed on the Kamensky house. Allegedly former owners cursed the mansion after being forced to flee. Sometimes at night, passing by an abandoned manor, you can hear strange voices, groans, laughter, old music and the clink of dishes. They say that these are the souls of the deceased owners.
Phantoms of Zarechnaya metro station
The Zarechnaya metro station in Nizhny Novgorod is considered the most mystical place in the entire Nizhny Novgorod drift. Various cataclysms periodically occur there, and night passengers sometimes see strange translucent white figures in the tunnels. Many believe that they are wandering around the station, but there really was a fact of death in the subway. On July 13, 1984, during the construction of the Moskovskaya station in the pit, the walls collapsed, as a result of an accident, two students who were involved in the work died.
According to legend, the souls of the dead builders still roam the metro stations, frightening late passengers. The workers themselves confirm that strange sounds are regularly heard in the tunnels, including the rumble of jackhammers and the grinding of iron, which can only be during the construction of the station. And some passengers talk about a ghost in a helmet, who was noticed more than once between the wall and the train car at the Zarechnaya station.
Abandoned village of Shkavyrna
Abandoned villages in the Russian outback are always surrounded by rumors and legends. The languages did not bypass the Nizhny Novgorod village of Shkavirna, which is located in the Lyskovsky district. Its main feature is that, despite the long years of oblivion, everything in it looks like people still live there. The researchers who have been there claim that all things in the houses continue to lie in their places, including valuable ones. One gets the feeling that the inhabitants left the settlement just a couple of minutes ago.
Residents of neighboring villages say that a certain woman in black lives in Shkavyrna, who picks up travelers who look there. This story could still be considered a mere urban legend, if not for the facts. There are indeed a lot of cases of missing people in that area. And even marauders bypass Shkavyrna.
Ghost Village Malaya Kuverba
Another strange phenomenon can be observed in the Tonshaevsky district. A translucent ghost village is often noticed by mushroom pickers and hunters who find themselves in those places. On the slope of the ravine at certain times of the day you can see the roofs of houses and the light of the sun reflected in the windows. But if you get closer, the settlement disappears like a dissipating fog. There are no people, no animals, no buildings of any kind. Local historians became interested in such an unusual phenomenon and began to study old maps.
It turned out that once there really was a small village called Malaya Kuverba. But over time, the inhabitants moved to Bolshaya Kuverba in the neighborhood, and the settlement gradually disappeared from the face of the earth. After many years of oblivion, the village again reminds of itself with ghostly outlines on the hills.
Lake Svetloyar and city of Kitezh
Perhaps this is the most famous legend of the Nizhny Novgorod region. In 1237, holy Rus' suffered from the invasion of the Mongol-Tatar yoke. Refugees, fleeing the invaders, flocked to the city of Kitezh, which was located in a hard-to-reach swampy area in the northern part of the Nizhny Novgorod region, near the village of Vladimirsky (now Voskresensky district). People hoped that the Busurmans would not get them there, but the Mongols were still able to find the city, thanks to a certain traitor. The enemy invaders stormed the walls of Kitezh for several days, and it soon became clear that the city would not survive.
Then all its inhabitants closed themselves in churches and began to pray for salvation. And unexpectedly, Kitezh, along with people and houses, went under water, never getting to the Mongol conquerors. In its place, a large lake Svetloyar was formed. They say that sometimes you can see the outlines of churches and towers in it. And on a moonlit night, bells and church hymns can be heard from under the water.
May Day Triangle
About the Bermuda Triangle Atlantic Ocean, in which ships and planes disappear, everyone knows, but there is a similar anomalous zone in the Nizhny Novgorod region. In the south of the region is the "Pervomaisky Triangle", which includes the Sarov Desert, founded in 1705, and the center is located near the city of Pervomaisk. Initially, the zone had negative energy, which Seraphim of Sarov managed to weaken. He was able to sharpen the "dead power" of these places into stones.
Unusual twisted trees grow within the boundaries of the May Day Triangle, the trunks of which are bent in one direction. The researchers argue that such phenomena are often recorded in UFO landing sites, as well as where there is an increased electromagnetic background. Local residents note that in the anomalous zone, people often experience inexplicable hallucinations.
Mochalny Island
Vacationers with barbecues and tents like to come to Mochalny Island in the summer, as it is located almost in the city - opposite the Chkalov Stairs. But those who know the history of this place and superstitious people will never stay there overnight. At the end of the 19th century, trade in bast and bast was brought to the island from the Nizhny Novgorod fair, hence its name. The first tragedy occurred on the island on the night of August 17-18, 1918, when 15 monks of the Oransky monastery, its rector Archimandrite Augustine and the rector of the Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God Nikolai Orlovsky were shot there.
Since then, the island has become a place of massacres, the bodies of people were dumped directly into the Volga. In total, during the years of the Red Terror (1917-1923), according to various sources, up to five thousand people were shot there, objectionable Soviet power. On September 30, 2004, a wooden cross was erected in memory of the dead on Mochalny, and two years later it was replaced with a stone one.
Wadska voklina
Residents of the Vadsky district prefer to stay away from Lake Mordovskoye, because even in the hottest weather it remains very cold and does not freeze in winter. And all because there is a strong current under the water, and a karst failure is formed below - a wokline that connects the reservoir with an underground river. In no case should you dive into the waterline itself without a rope tied to the boat, otherwise you may not return. The underground hole has killed more than one adventurer who is drawn to the karst cave.
There is a legend about a monster living in the bottomless abyss of Lake Mordovia. Some believe that something inexplicable like the Loch Ness monster drags bathers into its underwater cave. There have indeed been cases of people disappearing without a trace in the reservoir. But the divers who descended to the very bottom did not find confirmation of the legends. Although, maybe the monster was just skillfully hiding?
It also keeps a lot of mystical secrets and secrets, and on Rozhdestvenskaya Street in Blinovsky Passage, a surveillance camera filmed at night. There are still many mystical places and urban legends in the Nizhny Novgorod region, which I will continue to tell you about.

The abandoned villages of the Nizhny Novgorod region are a sad reality that you can see with your own eyes and photograph. Why residents leave their homes, which leads to the desolation of entire settlements, this article will tell.
Nizhny Novgorod Region
To date, just over 20,000 people live in the district, of which 53% live in the district center. The municipal district has one city council and 9 village councils. There are abandoned villages in the Nizhny Novgorod Region in almost all its parts, and the Chkalovsky District did not escape this fate. This is due to the fact that residents of small villages prefer to leave for larger settlements if there is work for them. According to the census, over the past ten years, the population has decreased in the region by almost 5,000 people, which is quite a bit on a national scale, but for a small area it is a significant loss of labor resources.
Ardatovsky district
Ardatovsky district is located 160 km from Nizhny Novgorod, famous for its arable land, thanks to which 90 collective farms were organized during the period of wholesale collectivization.
Today, the same situation is observed here: the abandoned villages of the Nizhny Novgorod region of the Ardatovsky district are the result of the resettlement of former collective farmers in district center, which is home to almost 57% of the region's population.
The number of people leaving the area permanently ranges from 200 to 500 per year, and the villages are usually the first to suffer.
Abandoned objects of the Nizhny Novgorod region
It is a common situation in the world when villages and even small towns that are economically and financially dependent on an enterprise or a strategic facility that was closed over time for some reason are empty.
There are many such objects in the country, and if you count all the abandoned villages of the Nizhny Novgorod region, the list will turn out to be impressive. It includes such settlements as Mavritsa, which was empty due to lack of profit and the collapse of the collective farm in the 80s of the last century. The village of Yamki was deserted after the school was closed in it in the 1960s.
There are many such examples, and the trend towards the appearance of ghost villages was the improper management of the economy within the framework of collective farms back in the Soviet era.
Interest in abandoned villages
Novgorod region has all natural resources to attract people here who want to own land and work on it. Everything is here: rivers with excellent fishing grounds, and forests full of game, berries and mushrooms, and fertile lands that are waiting to be cultivated by industrious hands.
Today you can see the great interest of urban residents in abandoned villages. As a rule, they come with their families, settle in empty houses for the whole summer, adults cultivate gardens, fish, and children spend time playing outdoors. After harvesting, they go back to the city.
Another interest in abandoned villages is found among treasure hunters and antiquities. Since most of the villages of the region were founded in the period from the 14th to the 18th centuries, under the buildings Soviet era there may well be interesting artifacts, jewelry and utensils of distant times.
Revival of the Russian village
If we believe the scientists who claim that history repeats itself, then maybe someday people tired of urbanization will want peace and clean air, and this will be the revival of villages in the Nizhny Novgorod region.
A new service has appeared on the Internet that collects information about abandoned objects in Russia. Objects are divided into the following groups: "Institutions", "Military", "Factories", "Construction", "Underground" and others. As it turned out, many abandoned objects are registered in the Nizhny Novgorod region, which connoisseurs of a certain atmosphere use for photo shoots, role-playing games, and just for walking. The ProGorodNN portal lists the TOP 10 abandoned, sometimes impressive, and sometimes creepy objects:
Abandoned church in Lindo Desert village
Photo - russian-church.ru
Brick five-domed temple in the Russian-Byzantine style with a two-aisled refectory and a hipped bell tower. The church was built in 1852 in the Russian-Byzantine style at the expense of the merchant Smirnov. It was closed in the late 1930s and is now abandoned, but drawings of icons remain inside.
The estate of the Priklonsky-Rukavishnikovs in the village of Podvyazye, Bogorodsky district
The estate, built at the end of the 18th century, was owned by the Priklonskys and the Rukovishnikovs. This is an old noble estate, a unique architectural ensemble of the 18th century, a family nest of the richest nobles of the Priklonskys, millionaires Rukavishnikovs.
The estate is located on a vast territory, with a stable, a water tower, winter garden, main house and many other structures.
ZS GO №4, Nizhny Novgorod
The shelter is located next to the factory. Class A-2. The layout is standard.
It is noteworthy that the GO posters survived on the walls, since the fire that raged in the shelter almost did not touch them. There is absolutely nothing else here, unfortunately, they took everything out. One of the exits is almost completely blocked, the second is open. Hermetic doors, FVU, equipment - everything was cut into metal a long time ago and taken away. 
Borzovka River, Nizhny Novgorod
The Borzovka River flows on the surface for most of its length, but part of the river is in a collector underground. In the tunnels of water just above the shin. The diameter of the collectors is 2.5 meters. There is a current in the left tunnel, at the end there is a grate blocking the entire exit, and some rubbish.
Adit No. 7 ("Holy Adit"), Nizhny Novgorod.
By a strange whim of circumstances, the place is considered a "holy spring". Perhaps the priests from the nearest temple had a hand in this. A couple of years ago, the water from this facility was much better and cleaner, but in 2011 an inspection was carried out, which ruled that the water had deteriorated and became dirtier.
Slaughterhouse, Nizhny Novgorod
The place, which has been abandoned for almost 10 years, was a "slaughterhouse" factory.
The structures are now very dilapidated, they are falling apart before our eyes. Laser tag is often played on the territory. Despite the fact that the object is under protection, the perimeter is simply dotted with climbs into the territory.
Red House, Nizhny Novgorod
The building is more than a hundred years old, about ten years ago they wanted to build a police station in it, but the construction was frozen due to a lack of budget. During World War II, a bomb fell on the building, but did not explode. Now there are only walls, with ceilings preserved in some places. The rooftop offers a good view of a small square and a nearby temple.
Flour mill, Nizhny Novgorod
A beautiful place on the embankment, a huge elevator. There are a lot of dogs here, and sometimes the authorities come. The exit to the roof is closed, but you can climb the side stairs.
Shelter under the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin
Two small shelters that should be one. At the end of 2012 brewed.
Kuibyshev water station, Nizhny Novgorod
Once this place was called the Kuibyshev water tower. The water pumping station was built in 1880 and lasted more than a century, until 1988. Today, this monument of historical and cultural heritage of the most peaceful purpose has become a rather dangerous place.
Chemical equipment plant, Nizhny Novgorod region
It's about a huge enterprise founded in the 1930s and declared bankrupt in the early 2000s, the territory of which is almost completely abandoned. There are more than a hundred buildings and a dozen and a half bomb shelters of various sizes.
Recall that we previously wrote that
An earlier video recording testifies to the existence of some intangible object in the building. But even before the video appeared, many people talked about the mysterious entity, and also complained more than once that they had a feeling of wild and inexplicable horror in the building, from which they wanted to run away as far as possible.
In the Kamensky House, rustles, creepy voices are often heard, and incomprehensible shadows are also visible. In the city, the house gained notoriety after a member of the stair installation team found a treasure. But the man who discovered the old silver utensils could not prove to law enforcement officers that he had left nothing for himself, as a result, he was sentenced to a term in the camps. According to the legend, the owners of the house cursed their jewels, and after death they returned to their house and treat visitors negatively.
The psychiatric hospital isn't a particularly pleasant place anyway, but it doesn't have anything out of the ordinary. But in the hospital on the territory of the Nizhny Novgorod region there is a building that inspires panic in all local residents. It is a two-story old building with a basement and a bell tower, it looks gloomy even in daylight, but at night there is hardly a daredevil who dares to just stand near the hull. According to local residents, a schoolgirl disappeared in the village several years ago. After a long search, she was found dead in an abandoned hospital building, as classmates said, the girl hanged herself because of unrequited love. Since then, patients and hospital staff have heard bitter weeping coming from the old building.
Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin comprises a large number towers, but Koromyslova is considered the most creepy and unusual. Two legends are associated with this tower. The first tells of a Russian woman who, with a yoke in her hand, drove away an armed horde. The second legend is much sadder. As she says, the workers could not manage to build the wall, as it crumbled the next day, so they went to the old man, who has a connection with the dark forces. He told them to build a wall on the blood of the first person to pass by the building, and the first person was a pregnant girl walking to get water. The builders walled her alive together with the yoke into the wall, because of this the Koromyslov tower was named, and since then the girl in white clothes has been a passer-by. By the way, it is a historically reliable fact that there are human bones at the foot of the tower.
Myzinsky bridge is one of the most important sections federal highway M7 between Moscow and Ufa, but is considered an anomalous place and is notorious. Fatal accidents very often occur on the bridge, which, in principle, can be explained by the design feature, but at the same time, eyewitnesses talk about terrible white silhouettes that sometimes appear literally from under the ground. In addition, suicides often occur here. In 2013, a divine service was held on the Myzinsky Bridge in order to clear the area of dark forces, but there were no fewer suicides or accidents.
The Semyonov forests are of incredible interest for those who like to deal with anomalous phenomena. The sanctity and unusualness of this area were described by the historian Melnikov-Pechersky in a book with the same name, but the observations of eyewitnesses defy any logic. After all, it was here that UFOs were noticed, and the forest itself becomes frightening and strange at night, shrouded in dense fog. In addition, an eerie and strange rumble is heard, it seems like the earth itself is groaning. No documentary evidence these facts, but there are a lot of eyewitness accounts.
There is some evidence that subway passengers saw a man in a helmet in a narrow part of the tunnel between the wall and the train through the windows of the car, but this is simply unrealistic. In addition, strange grinding sounds and the rumble of hammers are often heard in the tunnels of the subway, but this happens at a time when the platforms are almost empty. Local residents say that it is the workers who died during the construction of the Nizhny Novgorod metro in the eighties.
On the territory of the Lyskovsky district there is an abandoned, but surprisingly well-preserved village of Shkavyrna. In the houses, things lie in their places, moreover, a lot of valuable things, as if the inhabitants had left the settlement for just a minute. As residents of neighboring villages tell, a woman lives in Shkavyrna, who always wears black clothes and picks up people. All who went after her did not return. In fact, there are anomalously many cases of missing people in this area, so looters try to push it away.
Approximately 20 years ago, a terrible accident occurred on a section of the road near Gorodets. The car with the newlyweds was returning from the registry office, everyone was cheerful and joyful, but at some point the driver was distracted, the car suffered, and it crashed directly into the truck. The newlyweds died on the spot. Since then, all the couple from Gorodets go to the accident site and tie a ribbon on a tree near it in memory of the dead bride and groom. However, some companies came to this place to take a walk and drink, which, according to locals, offended the spirit of the bride. As a result of this, for many years, a white-clothed ghost suddenly appears at this bend and scares drivers.
On the territory of the Krasnobakovsky district, fifteen kilometers from the village of Kirillovo, there is a large hill of land in the forest. Locals claim that the hill is the cursed burial place of a bloodthirsty warlord from other lands. As you know, during the period of the Tatar-Mongol invasion, a road passed in these places for the army of Khan Shol. The khan himself died on the road, either from old age, or from a wound, and they buried him right in the forest thicket. According to the then tradition, a lot of jewelry, silver and gold were placed in the grave.
Many years have passed, the legend of countless treasures has been passed down from generation to generation, so there were a lot of people who wanted to get rich at the expense of the savage khan. But those who dared to dig up the grave died after that. Some villagers pass on the stories of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers, and therefore they try not to come close to the grave - it's scary.
The village of Bochkari on the territory of the Sokolsky district was badly damaged by a fire in the fall of 2005, there were even those who died in the fire. After the disaster, the surviving people left the village, leaving for relatives, and the surviving houses are still standing in the field.
At the moment, the village is abandoned, but the strange thing is that no one robbed the remaining 15 houses, and everything in the village remains as if the inhabitants had left their homes quite recently. There are rumors among the locals that people who took any things in the village were either badly maimed or died under strange circumstances. According to witnesses, a mirror appears in all accidents.
Eyewitnesses say that there are a lot of ghosts in the building of the Mordovian State Reserve near the city of Sarov. Before the revolution of 1917, the building housed the estate of a wealthy timber merchant, who was distinguished by his addiction to violence and a very harsh disposition, they say that there were even murders by his hand. But his business collapsed, and immediately after the revolution, he fled abroad, leaving the estate. And the souls of the people who were ruined by the timber merchant still roam the building.
On the territory of the Tonashevsky district, people have repeatedly seen an unusual anomaly - a translucent village, the roofs of houses and windows gleaming on the slope of the ravine. But there were no people and animals in the village. But as soon as you approach the settlement, it dissipates. After reviewing old maps, local historians actually discovered that there really was once a village called Malaya Kuverba at this place. But over time, it became abandoned, as the inhabitants moved to Bolshaya Kuverba. The old village gradually disappeared from the face of the earth and is shown only to berry pickers and mushroom pickers. But they already know that the anomaly does not threaten them, so they are not afraid.
