Sights and interesting places of Suksun (with photos). My Perm region: Suksun How to get to the village of Suksun, GPS coordinates

Suksun- one of the oldest Ural settlements, included in the list of historical cities of Russia. Located in the southeast of the Perm region, on the left bank of the Sylva River. This settlement arose in 1651. The name has Turkic roots and is translated as “icy water.” The reason for the formation of the settlement was the discovery of copper deposits in this area.

In former times, Suksun was located on the very border of the Russian State and was well protected by wooden fortresses. In 1727, Akinfiy Demidov built a copper smelter on these lands. Thanks to this, the active development of the settlement began, it became known as an industrial center. And it was here that the first steamship in Russia with an iron hull was manufactured, which was named “Nikita Demidov”, in honor of the father of the founder of the plant.

In the mid-18th century, the production of samovars began here. Local craftsmen achieved such success that when, after some time, copper reserves began to dry up, production did not stop. It is Suksun that is considered the birthplace of the Ural samovar art. Local samovars were of such high quality and so surprising with their varied shapes that they competed with the world famous Tula samovars. Suksun craftsmen even made samovars in the form of antique amphorae, and already in the 20th century, products in the form of satellites and other space themes appeared. You can see a magnificent collection of samovars at the local local history museum. There you will also be told about the history of the entire settlement.

Previously, Suksun was famous for the production of bells, and 48 bells for the Bolshoi Theater were cast at the Suksun factory. At the end of the 19th century, the Counts Kamensky took over the plant. And in 1933, the settlement received the status of an urban-type settlement.

In the mid-20th century, the Suksun plant switched to producing lenses and glasses, after which it became known as an optical-mechanical plant. Nowadays, exciting industrial excursions are organized there for residents and guests of the city.

Nowadays, only the old building of the Demidov plant reminds us of Suksun’s mining past.

Excursions to the currently operating OMZ are in great demand. Those interested will be shown production workshops of the 18th century. And in modern workshops you can observe the modern production of safety glasses and helmets and even try them on yourself.

In Suksun you can take a walk in the wonderful “Fairytale Park”. This walk will not leave either adults or children indifferent. Here you will see sculptures of heroes from Russian fairy tales: Leshy, Koshchei the Immortal and others. It is in the center of this park that the symbol of Suksun is located - a huge samovar.

The house - the museum of one of the most famous Ural artists - Konstantin Milievich Sobakin, located on the shore of the Suksun pond, is always waiting for guests. Here you will see many of the artist's works, including such whimsical ones as apricot kernel necklaces, a solid wood throne and pebble mosaics.

The Suksun lands have always been famous for their spiritual traditions. The very first temple appeared here back in 1620, in the village of Klyuchi, which is located 15 kilometers from Suksun. There is also something to visit for lovers of ancient Russian churches. It is in Suksun that the Church of Peter and Paul, built in 1729, is located. The majestic structure rises at the top of the Suksun hill. The temple houses the icon “Burning Bush” - a shrine of the Suksun region.

In the 19th century, local doctor A.P. Shcherbakov found healing mud in the Suksun pond and began to treat everyone with it. The health resort, located in the village of Klyuchi, is still very popular among Perm residents.

Not far from Suksun, on the right bank of the Sylva River there is a hydrological natural monument - the Plakun waterfall. Two jets, falling from a height of almost 7 meters, break into myriads of small drops, reminiscent of tears.

For those who like to study the rituals and traditions of the small peoples of Russia, excursions to Mari villages are organized. Here you can taste local cuisine, take part in interesting rituals, and also visit the Mari House of Crafts.

Official symbols of the municipality

Coat of arms of the municipality Flag of the municipality

Heraldic description of the Coat of Arms: “In a field dissected by green and azure with a silver wavy end, there is a golden samovar with two handles and a closed tap.”

Description of the symbolism of the Coat of Arms: since 1651 - the moment of the founding of the village of Suksun - the main symbols are: water - mineral springs of Suksun, its past, present and future, samovar - craftsmanship, crafts of Suksun.

The silver wavy tip symbolizes the maternal origin of Suksun - its cold clear waters, the greatness of nature and spirit.

The main figure of the Coat of Arms - a golden samovar - indicates that the main occupation of the artisan population of the region for many decades was the production of these products, which brought glory to the Suksun land.

Gold in the Coat of Arms is a symbol of the highest value, wealth, greatness, constancy, strength and generosity.

Silver symbolizes purity, nobility, perfection, peace.

The azure color symbolizes hope, rebirth, and shows the water resources of the area.

The green color in the field of the Coat of Arms symbolizes the natural resources of the territory, as well as the agricultural focus of its development.

Flag Description: a rectangular panel with a width to length ratio of 2:3, divided vertically into two equal parts: green and blue - and carrying along the lower edge a wavy white stripe 1/5 of the width of the panel with five visible ridges, and in the center, on top of the division, image of a samovar with two handles and a closed tap, made in yellow.

The urban-type settlement of Suksun (the first chronicle mention was in 1651; translated from Turkic dialects Suk-su means cold or icy water.) is located on the Siberian Highway 150 km from Perm and 250 km from Yekaterinburg, the railway is 47 km from the village - Art. Kungur, 87 km - station. Krasnoufimsk

The history of Suksun is interesting, first of all, because this settlement developed as a mining settlement.

In 1729, the copper smelter of Akinfiy Demidov was launched, which subsequently began the production of copper utensils and samovars. Historical documents indicate that copper utensils began to be produced at the Suksun plant already in the 1740s. The staff list of the Suksun plant for 1747 states that a certain master Fedot Kiselev is “in the business of copper utensils.” In 1748, Mikhail Lomonosov purchased a copper “quarter” from Fedot Kiselev for laboratory experiments for 3 rubles. 60 kopecks. Nowadays it is an exhibit of the State Historical Museum, known as the “distillation cube”.

Until 1774, the plant worked on ores mined in various places nearby. Part of the resulting copper was processed into dishes. But then the mines were depleted, and the plant became an iron-making plant (processing pig iron into iron). The Sylva River then served as a transport artery.

In 1845, for the first time in the Urals, a steamship with an iron hull, the Nikita Demidov, was manufactured at the Suksun plant. For many years, he floated the resulting products along the Kama and Chusovaya rivers.

At the end of the 19th century, iron production at the plant decreased so much that the number of workers at the plant decreased by five times. The growth of handicraft production is evidenced by the fact that by the end of the 19th century there were 80 handicraft workshops in Suksun. The larger workshops employed three to four dozen workers. The names of the owners of such “factories” are known: Utemov, Sharlaimov, Pomytkin and Panfilov. One worker at such a factory made up to 150 fire samovars per year.

Samovars were sent along the Siberian Highway to fairs in Irbit, Yekaterinburg, Perm and Nizhny Novgorod. In 1900, manufacturer Pomytkin sent his brass samovar to the World Fair in Paris.

In addition to samovars, artisans in Suksun made dishes for household needs: milk bowls, pots, washbasins, ladles, basins, lamps and much more.

Suksun was also one of the centers of bell casting. The famous bell-making masters Trofimovs (Kolokolnikovs) and Erofeevs lived and worked here. Two Suksun Orthodox churches and a number of surrounding ones were decorated with locally made bells.

In addition to factory production, soap-making, pimo-rolling, and blacksmithing crafts developed in Suksun; one of the rare crafts in the province was lace (woven lace).


Monument to the samovar in the village of Suksun

Suksun is considered the birthplace of samovars. A monument to the samovar was erected in the center of the village several years ago. Suksun was also famous for the production of melodious bells.

Other products were also manufactured. It is interesting that the copper quarter, made in 1748 by master Fyodor Kiselev at the Suksun plant, was used by the outstanding Russian scientist M.V. Lomonosov.

In 1841, the iron steamer Nikita Demidov was built at the Suksun plant, which safely transported cargo from the Suksun plant to Perm and back.



According to legend, a treasure is buried at the mouth of the Suksun River - a “golden” boat loaded with Ermak treasures.

The Suksun land attracts with its nature, mineral springs, which in their diversity and healing power are not inferior to the famous Caucasian waters. In the 19th century, Suksun doctor A.P. Shcherbakov found healing mud in the Suksun pond, and also began to treat patients with sulfur waters. Soon, 15 km from Suksun in the village of Klyuchi, the first health resort in the Urals and Siberia, widely known to Perm residents today, was founded.

Below Suksun (near the villages of Sasykovo and Pepelyshi) is one of the main attractions of the Sylva River - the Plakun waterfall. The sound of water falling from a 7-meter height can be heard from afar. It is worth not only admiring the waterfall, but also, having climbed, inspect the place where groundwater emerges from sandstone cracks. If you wish, you can stand under the stream of the waterfall. But I warn you: the water is icy! The icy cold of the Plakun waterfall will take your breath away. Near the waterfall, the river is crossed by a suspended pedestrian bridge.

Where does this name come from? Perhaps two jets, falling from a height of 7 meters, breaking into small splashes, resemble tears. But there are other versions. The waterfall is recognized as a hydrological natural monument and is a wonderful place for recreation and excursions.
