Attractions
Despite its size, Vyatskie Polyany has a fairly large number of historical monuments. True, the condition of many of them is not the best.
Michael the Archangel Church
This temple, a real treasure of the Vyatka region, was originally located in the village of Sushi. The church has accepted the prayers of local residents for centuries, but during the years of militant atheism everything changed: dances were held here, and then a warehouse was even built. In the end, the temple was simply abandoned.
Fortunately, in 1960, the Archangel Michael Church was recognized as a monument of history and culture. But the neglected state of the ceilings, lack of money for repairs and the small population led to the fact that the temple actually ceased to fulfill its functions.
This continued until 1998, when they decided to move the architectural monument to a place where it would become more in demand - to Vyatskie Polyany. Here he received a second life.
Today, the Archangel Michael Church is part of the Nativity Monastery under construction. A memorial plaque was installed in the temple in honor of the heroes of the Vyatka region who died in military conflicts and during the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident.
Gate Church of Onuphrius the Great
In 2000, the temple of Onuphrius the Great was erected next to the Archangel Michael Church. Since the new church was located above the entrance to the monastery courtyard, it was called the gate church. The temple and bell tower were built according to classical Russian canons.
Mother of God Convent
The Mother of God Monastery was founded in 1996. Today the monastery consists of 2 buildings. It was consecrated in honor of the monastery that operated in Vyatskie Polyany from the 16th to the 18th centuries.
The first church of the monastery is the Church of the Nativity of Christ. This house church, intended for sisters from the monastery, is located in a two-story brick sisters' building.
The second temple of the monastery is dedicated to the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God. The church was built in 2006 with donations from parishioners. It was located on the site of a small prayer house that was closed in 1961. The brick temple has a neat eclectic architecture.
St. Nicholas Cathedral
St. Nicholas Church received parishioners from 1615 to 1930. Its wooden building was replaced by a stone one in 1826. In 1893, a bell tower was built next to the church.
Like many religious buildings in the Vyatka region, St. Nicholas Church had to go through difficult times. It was closed and opened several times. In 1948, a prayer house was organized here. After its closure in 1961, Orthodox believers attended services in the city of Malmyzh. But long trips (Malmyzh is located 60 km from Vyatskiye Polyany) only strengthened the spirit of the people. Believers even organized two illegal houses of worship, in which services were regularly held. With the easing of persecution of the church in the late 80s. people turned to local authorities with a request to organize an Orthodox community in Vyatskiye Polyany. Persistence bore fruit: in 1987, the building of St. Nicholas Church was handed over to believers, who took part in the first service on January 12, 1988. A few days later, on January 20, 1988, the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker received the status of a cathedral.
After many years of neglect, St. Nicholas Cathedral required a long and painstaking restoration. More than 400 local residents responded to the call to take part. In Voronezh, a bell was purchased at the expense of believers, the ringing of which echoed throughout the city on August 2, 1989.
Historical Museum
The pride of any city is its own historical museum. This institution opened in Vyatskie Polyany in 1967. The quality and content of the funds makes the museum in Vyatskie Polyany one of the best in the Kirov region. Today there are 4 exhibition halls and 1 exhibition hall, a classroom for children, and a library.
House-Museum of G. S. Shpagin
An inconspicuous building on the banks of the Vyatka from 1941 to 1952. was the home of the outstanding weapons designer Georgy Semenovich Shpagin, creator of the legendary PPSh submachine gun. In small rooms that have preserved the interior of the war years, there is an exhibition with Shpagin’s things: books, clothes, dishes.
Mosque
The Vyatskopolyansky district borders the Republic of Tatarstan, so it is not surprising that a significant part of its population professes Islam. In 1989, local Muslims built a mosque in the city. In addition to worship services, it holds various training sessions for everyone. Children and adults study Arabic and the history of Islam.

Story
Until the mid-16th century, Udmurts, Maris and Tatars lived on these lands, and on the site of the Vyatskiye Polyany themselves there was an Udmurt settlement called Oshtorma-Bodya. The defeat of the Kazan Khanate by Moscow in 1552 forced people who had lived here for centuries to leave their homes. The Russians who came to their place found only forested clearings, which they began to call Vyatka.
In 1915, the life of the then village changed forever - the Moscow-Ekaterinburg railway passed through it. In 1938, Vyatskie Polyany officially became a village, and 4 years later - a city.
