FAN compiled the top 5 most interesting abandoned places in the Kursk region, having their own special unusual aesthetic atmosphere.
Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the village of Kamenka
A stunning wooden temple - a historically valuable and important site in the Kursk region. There are practically no such architectural monuments of the XIX century: the majestic six-domed church with a refectory and a bell tower begins to turn into ruins.
After 1930 during the Soviet era, the temple was closed and adapted for storing grain crops. After that, everyone began to gradually forget about its existence..
Smetsky's estate in Makarovka
The mansion was built in 20 century landowner and manufacturer Alexander Nikolaevich Smetsky.
After 1924 a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients was organized in the estate. The successful doctor Benzian Feinschmidt worked there..
The abandoned mansion of Smetsky is considered 1999 of the year, when the management of the sanatorium started a renovation. However, they did not have enough money for restoration work..
The estate continued to collapse. There was a major fire there this year.
Ruined Walking Dragline Excavator
This kind of invention, like walking dragline ESh 10/60, are considered representatives of industrial aesthetics, and the integral timeless mechanism of a bygone era is impressive.
On the outskirts of the quarry, the excavator surprises with its size, to feel which is possible only then, when you get inside. There is a crane beam, used for equipment installation, which is suspended at a height of more than five meters. The territory is not guarded.
Village White Shores
The village is located on the banks of the Swapa River. It is practically abandoned: no more than two families and one summer resident live in it permanently. Some houses are in disrepair, and the rest can be "studied".
According to Kurskiy stalkers, old stoves can be found in houses, the remains of furniture and other various household property.
The fifth and sixth power units of the Kursk NPP
known, that the Kursk nuclear power plant was built in the same way, like the Chernobyl, up to the location of elevated chimneys.
Many stalkers are interested in the almost completed, but unfinished fifth and begun sixth power unit. Last year, the first was used as a film set for a Russian TV series about the Chernobyl disaster..
earlier FAN reported, that Kursk is a city, full of unsolved secrets. In addition to abandoned facilities, on the territory of the city and the region there are a large number of wonderful and beautiful places, eg, defense twin towers in the Sudzhan forest and a green tunnel near Kurchatov.
